Knife Amnesty


Amnesty Bins

 

This week we are taking part in a range of activities as part of Operation Sceptre, the national fight against knife crime.

 

We are encouraging everyone with unwanted knives to hand them in to us this week- you may have old knives which you don't use anymore, or you may have had a knife was legal to own privately, but under the updated Offensive Weapons Act, this is no longer the case.

 

Whatever the reason you can hand them in to us using the amnesty bin at The Delph, Swadlincote on Monday the 19th May between 5-6pm or outside Greenbank Leisure Centre. They will be safely disposed of to prevent them from getting into the wrong hands.
