A CORDON has been put in place in Reading town centre to allow police to investigate an overnight incident.
The area around Target Junction – which is currently closed for two weeks of roadworks – has been sealed off.
It is centred around the area outside the Metro Bank area of Broad St Mall, and includes the entirety of the junction, parts of St Mary’s Butts, the main entrance of the shopping mall, and the pavement on the opposite side of the road.
This means some shops and restaurants are currently unable to open.
They include Taco Bell, TSB and Metro Bank.
It is expected that the cordon will be lifted at some point this morning – Saturday, July 29.
Thames Valley Police’s press office has been contacted for more details.
