In the wake of this devastating incident and an escalating trend of knife-related violence in the area, police took swift action.
A Stop and Search order was put into effect, spanning across Brent, which includes areas such as Wembley Park, Dollis Hill, Welsh Harp, Willesden Green, Cricklewood & Mapesbury, and Tokyngton.
This order was in place from the time of the incident until 9 a.m. on September 25.
The decision to implement the Stop and Search order was attributed to “several incidents of serious violence” that have raised concerns about public safety.
A cordon remains in Olympic Way today.
