More than 3,000 knifes are now off the streets after being recovered from outdoor public spaces and a number of weapons bins throughout Bedfordshire.

This activity was a result of Operation Sceptre, which is the national week of action aimed at tackling knife crime and to encourage people to think twice before carrying a knife.

Between Monday 9 to Sunday 15 November, Bedfordshire Police worked with partners to participate in a number of activities.

Such as weapons sweeps, engaging with retailers and pro-active high-visibility patrols in areas most affected by knife crime.
