Message from Sgt Muddiman

“The team have been working hard this week tackling ASB and youth violence which has resulted in the identification and arrest through intelligence and CCTV enquiries of a 15yr old male for possession of bladed article. In addition officers have been on pro-active patrols around the area which has resulted in a number of vehicle and persons stopped in which officers have seized controlled drugs and arrested a 19yr old male for possession of a bladed article.”

If you have any information on those carrying knives you can report it anonymously via Crimestoppers

 

 

Zombie-style knives and machetes surrender and compensation scheme

To help reduce knife crime the government is running a scheme where knives can be handed over before the law changes. You may also be able to claim compensation. The scheme started at midnight, 26 August 2024 and ends 23 September 2024. It will be against the law to own zombie-style knives and machetes from 24 September 2024.

 

Zombie knives are bladed weapons with: 

  • a plain cutting edge
  • a sharp pointed end, and
  • a blade of over eight inches long
  • Which also has one or more of the following:

  • a serrated cutting edge over two inches long
  • more than one hole in the blade
  • spikes
  • more than two sharp points in the blade
  • From 24 September 2024 having a zombie-style knife or machete will be against the law. If you're found with one, you could be prosecuted.

    How to hand over knives

    You can take them to Stechford Police Station.
