Police take action on disorder at Slough bus station
Police arrested two teenage girls in Slough town centre on Friday (27/4), following reports of public disorder involving a group of youths.
At 4.10pm, police received reports of a fight taking place at Brunel bus station, Slough. Officers arrived at the scene at 4.18pm and the youths ran away. However, two girls aged 16 and 17 were arrested a few minutes later on suspicion of assault.
The 16-year-old was bailed until 24 May and the 17-year-old was later released without charge.
Brunel bus station is part of an area currently covered by a dispersal order. Slough Borough Council, in partnership with Thames Valley Police, introduced the dispersal order in the town centre in response to anti-social behaviour caused by groups congregating in the centre and in particular, Brunel underpass.
The Slough dispersal order came into force at 7am on Sunday 1 April and will continue throughout the summer months until midnight on 1 September. Under the terms of the order, police officers and police community support officers have the power to tell people in groups of two or more to disperse and tell people who don’t live in the area to leave and not to return for up to 24 hours.
In a separate incident, a teenager was arrested after a man allegedly had his wallet stolen while walking through the Brunel underpass at around 10.25pm on 28 April.
Ahmed Hassan, 18, of Blackrod Close, Hayes, Middlesex, was charged with theft and will appear at Maidenhead Magistrates’ Court on 14 May.
