Inspector Nick Perks, based at Bicester police station, said: “We have made a decision to put this order in place following the disorder in the area earlier today.
“The order will allow our officers to carry out stop and search checks, which will offer further protection to the public and is also designed to prevent the escalation of any further violence by helping to remove weapons from the streets.
“People are likely to see a larger police presence than usual in and around Chipping Norton while this takes place, so I’d encourage anyone with any questions to approach our officers and speak to them.”
