Police Issue Stark Warning on Knife Crime
Inspector Hayley Crawford of Nottinghamshire Police said: “Drugs and knife crime is totally unacceptable and we will always investigate reports thoroughly.
“Our message to those who carry a knife, or who are thinking of carrying one, is that you will be arrested.
“Every blade we seize is one less dangerous weapon that can be used to cause serious harm or injury – potentially resulting in someone’s life being lost.
“We all need to work together to combat knife crime. We’re urging anyone with information to call Nottinghamshire Police on 101, Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111, or dial 999 in an emergency.”
