Nine people were arrested on suspicion of possessing offensive weapons in Luton town centre earlier today (Friday).

Police officers were alerted by CCTV operators to a group of people congregating around Luton Crown Court at around 9.40am.

A Beds Police spokeman said: "It is believed that this was in relation to a current court hearing so officers are in the area and a dispersal order was put in place."
