Several more police cars have arrived at an Oxford park after caravans were spotted.
A large encampment of caravans was spotted at the city’s South Park at around 8pm on Thursday evening.
Residents were left screaming as Travellers allegedly drove trucks and work vans around the site and performed donuts.
Now Thames Valley Police has sent more officers and vehicles down to the scene after Oxford City Council served an eviction notice.
