US EditionMet Makes 100 Arrests Ahead of Notting Hill Carnival in Bid to Deter Trouble
Police arrested 100 people, seized 11 firearms and over 40 knives to prevent violence at the Notting Hill Carnival, with 266 individuals restricted from attending, Met Police said.
- This year the Metropolitan Police arrested 100 people and seized 11 firearms and more than 40 knives ahead of the Notting Hill Carnival in west London, with support from British Transport Police and City of London Police.
- Last year’s Carnival saw two people killed amid eight stabbings and 349 arrests, prompting national intelligence-sharing to identify violent gangs and seek banning orders.
- Police will erect screening arches, use stop-and-search powers, and deploy around 7,000 police on duty this Sunday and Monday to enhance safety at the carnival.
- As a result, about 266 people now have bail or probation conditions barring them from attending this year’s Carnival, and 21 people recalled to prison through intelligence-led interventions.
- More than one million people are expected at Notting Hill Carnival, and Commander Charmain Brenyah said `The vast majority come to have fun and enjoy themselves, to celebrate Caribbean culture, to dance, to eat and to go home with nothing but good memories`.
