Nottinghamshire Police Rushcliffe South beat team carried out knife searches across the borough under Operation Sceptre this week.
Operation Sceptre is a national police campaign to tackle knife crime.
Police said:
‘Whilst the vast majority of people don’t carry knives or get involved in knife crime, we are working hard, with partner agencies to tackle the knife crime offences that occur and to help prevent them from happening in the first place.’
‘Officers from the Rushcliffe South beat team undertook a proactive knife sweep, searching for knives in various parks and other relevant locations on Friday and Saturday 30 April and 1 May.
‘Thankfully no knives were found.
‘The team are out today in the community focusing on crime hot-spot areas.
‘If you have information about knife crime or people that carry knives please get in touch with your local neighbourhood Policing team on 101.’
