Police Praise Swift Action
“This was a good piece of police work and shows why we respond to calls as rapidly as possible,” said Inspector Karl Thomas, Nottingham South district commander. “It is always a great result when we are able to take dangerous and potentially lethal knives off the street. Educating people about the dangers of knife crime remains a priority across Nottingham South. I am pleased we have charged this suspect and placed him before the courts.”
Police continue to crack down on knife crime and drug use in the area.
