Police say public open spaces are areas where knives can be discarded or hidden to avoid detection
Nottinghamshire Police have discovered a knife at a popular country park in Nottingham. It comes as officers searched 10 Nottinghamshire parks in a bid to uncover any knives that have been hidden or discarded. Officers from the City West Neighbourhood team have been carrying out searches as part of Operation Sceptre, a nationwide week long campaign focusing on knife crime.
The team also searched Wollaton Park, Harvey Haddon Sports Centre grounds, and parks in Bilborough, Broxtowe, Old Basford, Basford, Stockhill and Aspley. Local officers carry out regular patrols of these parks.Sergeant Darran Owen said: “The areas were chosen for a variety of reasons such as problems with anti-social behaviour, areas believed to be frequented by knife carriers or simply because they are large open spaces.
