Police Close North End Crescent

The Police are maintaining a closed cordon across North End Crescent and Edith Rd this evening (7.30pm to 10pm). A policeman on duty said there had been a 'fight in the vicinity, with some minor injuries incurred.' The roads are closed while a search for evidence is carried out, involving a number of officers and police dogs. According to a local shop worker, a gang fight with knives had taken place on the junction, outside Sainsbury's, with up to 15 youths involved.
11pm Update:
A forensic team is working on North End Crescent (in front of the parade of shops), which is the only road still closed. The shops inside the cordon have remained closed throughout the investigation.
