Major Incident in Banbury: Police Respond to Emergency Early This Morning

Police cordoned off Hilton Road in Banbury today, closing the area from Park Road to Wimborne Avenue, as they respond to a significant incident. The scene is heavily monitored, with multiple police officers and vehicles deployed, creating a visible police presence marked by tape at both ends of the closure. The road closure is expected to last throughout the day as investigations continue.

Details from Thames Valley Police remain scarce at this time. This latest situation follows a troubling series of incidents in Banbury, including a reported rape of a teenage girl in People’s Park, an assault involving a baseball bat near Ruscote Arcade, and a recent arrest linked to an XL bully dog attack that resulted in the death of another dog at St Peter’s Church.
