LONDON (CBS4)- The public should expect to see increased security measures across London as authorities investigate the latest attack to strike Britain.

London Assistant Police Commissioner Mark Rowley said that police are investigating whether others were involved in planning Saturday night's vehicle and knife attack on London Bridge and at nearby restaurants.

Seven people were killed in the attack and dozens more were injured. On Sunday, 21 remained in critical condition.

Rowley says police are confident that the three men fatally shot by officers in the minutes after the assault were the only attackers, but there is "clearly more to do" in the investigation.

Police say the white van the attackers used to mow down pedestrians on London Bridge was rented by one of them.

Security cordons placed around London Bridge will remain indefinitely.
