Police officers have seized a number of knives in Hayle, St Ives, and Penzance as part of an ongoing crime prevention campaign, Operation Sceptre.
Operation Sceptre is a national campaign which takes place twice a year. It supports the work that Devon and Cornwall Police carry out all year round to ensure residents are safe from knife crime in their community.
Officers undertake a range of activities, including targeted operations, engagement, and education, to reassure young people they are safer not carrying knives, and to walk away from harm.
If you have information relating to concerns for an individual carrying knives, or who may have the prohibited ‘zombie’ style knives at home, let police know via 101, Crime Stoppers, or through the Devon and Cornwall Police website.
