Yesterday our #SectorTeam on #OpSceptre stopped & searched a male known to officers, in Somerstown. Found this, carried because “I’ve been stabbed before”. Not lawful excuse. Charged with Offensive Weapons and held for court on Monday. pic.twitter.com/oNiZCULxqH

Excellent engagement work by Pc Evans from the Schools Liason team in @swpcardiff working to reduce knife crime in the city with some early intervention within our schools. #OpSceptre #FairwaterNPT twitter.com/swpcardiff/sta…

Team stopped 3 males in #Southall park. One male arrested for possession of a knife hidden in his waistband and going equipped for theft with this kit on him. One arrested for possession with intent to supply cannabis #OpSceptre #StopKnifeCrime #StopAndSearch #SpaceForTwo pic.twitter.com/RqlpY1V7VE

It took twelve hours and dozens of officers, but an aggressive, citywide weapons sweep has taken these instruments of death off our streets. #opsceptre #stopknifecrime #SafeShrubbery pic.twitter.com/nEeVJx39wj

We have received a tip about a male subject, first name of Arthur, who has apparently pulled a large knife or machete from a rock in a lake. Does anyone have more information on this knife crime? Call 101, or call 999 if you are in danger due to this Arthur's presence. #opsceptre

Another knife seized & potentially another life saved. We’ve also had away a dealers supply. Suspects now in custody. Anyone still think stop and search doesn’t work? #opsceptre #stopknifecrime #ilford pic.twitter.com/yxqCUv4yr5

This knife was stored in a public place; no doubt ready to be used on someone. Found by a member of the community and handed over to an officer on foot patrol. Submitted for destruction. #StopKnifeCrime #KnivesTakeLives #OpSceptre #Shoreditch #Hoxton #Hackney pic.twitter.com/tkDDQqNznO

I feel bad for the cops raiding tackle boxes, craft baskets, and tool boxes looking for inanimate objects someone has classified as sentient evil instead. I also feel bad for someone who is a criminal by simply carrying a knife. Jailed for a Swiss Champ #opsceptre
