Car Cruising Injunction for Stevenage extended for another five years

Following the hearing at Luton Crown Court on Wednesday 1 February, it has been agreed that the Car Cruising Injunction covering Stevenage will be extended until 31 January 2028.

The original injunction came about after two men were convicted following the ‘car cruise’ incident in July 2019 which injured 19 people in Broadhall Way, Stevenage. 

Chief Inspector for Stevenage Graeme Walsingham added: “We have been working in partnership with Stevenage Borough Council to make sure we do not see a repeat of the horrific collision that occurred after that cruise event in 2019.

“As a result of the injunction extension, we continue to have powers to prevent the kind of activity that caused the incident, and we will take swift action against those that ignore this legislation. My officers will continue to patrol hot spot locations and deal robustly with those people who flout these new rules.”
