Knives, swords and even a crossbow were among items left at a weapons amnesty bin in Hereford last week.
It was part of Operation Sceptre which is a coordinated week of activity where police forces across the country raise awareness of knife crime and through information and intelligence, proactively target knife related offences.
This campaign is also an opportunity to remind the public about Changes to legislation brought about by the Offensive Weapons Act 2019 which, introduced in July this year, now means it is an offence to possess certain items such as knuckledusters, throwing stars and zombie knives, even in private.
All the weapons handed in will now be destroyed.
