A “public order incident” involving a group of people armed with samurai swords and machetes has led to an order granting additional police powers in Reading.
Thames Valley Police said at 3am on Friday officers were made aware of a group of people with weapons involved in disorder in the area of Regents Street.
The force said there were reports of up to eight people armed with samurai swords and machetes, as well as damage to vehicles. No injuries have yet been reported.
