74 arrested for knife crimes in days as GMP hit back after horror week of violence which saw boy killed
A total of 123 knives have been seized and 74 people arrested for knife-related offences, during a week of police action to prevent knife crime.
GMP said it worked with partners, colleges and schools to deliver 51 anti-knife sessions and "engaged with thousands of pupils across Greater Manchester" from Monday 14 to Sunday 20, November, to help raise awareness of knife crime and the devastating impact carrying a knife can have. “Recent events have only strengthened our resolve that knife crime will not be tolerated in Greater Manchester - it has no place on our streets, where our communities are supposed to feel safe. Our work does not stop at the end of Operation Sceptre – our commitment is clear – to reduce knife crime and prevent people from thinking they need to carry a knife.
“The support of local people is vital in building stronger and safer communities, I would like to thank them for their efforts and continue to urge them to speak out if they have concerns about a young person. I would also like to give my thanks to Greater Manchester Police and other agencies who have supported the operation.
In a tribute issued last Wednesday, Kyle's grieving family said: "We are devastated by the death of our beloved Kyle. He was such a kind and well-mannered young boy who always looked out for his family - never failing to say 'love youl as he walked out the door.
