Police have put tough new stop and search powers in place after a stabbing murder
Tough new stop and search powers have been put in place temporarily in parts of Chapeltown after a man was stabbed to death on Thursday.
The man was taken to hospital but sadly died there from his injuries. A full investigation into the murder has been launched by West Yorkshire Police and remains ongoing this evening by the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team.Alongside continuing enquiries, senior officers authorised the use of Section 60 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 to come into effect from 4pm hours today allow police to stop and search people for weapons without needing the usual grounds to conduct a search.
It gives police officers the power to search people or vehicles for offensive weapons or dangerous instruments without them having to have their usual grounds to suspect each person searched.
