Op Sceptre - tackling knife crime

This week we’re supporting Op Sceptre, a national campaign to tackle knife crime.

We know locally knife crime is relatively low compared to other areas, however, we’re not complacent and continue to take action to stop people from carrying a knife in the first place.

The local Policing Teams for Redditch will be at the following locations with the Police Partnership Van and Knife Bin for any knifes you no longer want.

On Tuesday 19th of May, between the hours of 5pm till 6.30pm the team will be at the Trafford retail park, Trescott Road, Redditch, B987AH.

On Wednesday 20th of May, between the hours of 5pm till 6.3pm, the team will be at the Woodrow Centre, Redditch, B987RY.

On Friday 22nd of May, between the hours of, 2pm till 3.30pm, the team will be at Redditch Town Centre.
