A Nottinghamshire Police sergeant has declared one knife offence in the city is one too many as police scanned people for weapons at Nottingham Station. Officers used a metal detecting arch at the Station Street exit on Thursday afternoon .
"We've also stopped a male who was behaving suspiciously around the arch. When we've gone to search him he had £11,000 and some cannabis. We're looking for any knives that fit the definition of a bladed article. The knife we recovered was a large lockable knife, around five to six inches long."Police asked some commuters to pass through the arch, by Sgt Tiernan said this was not the main focus for officers.
"It's focused on detecting people coming into the city centre with knives or weapons on them and trying to disrupt that activity. We see the station as a transit hub for people that come in on the tram from other parts of the county.
We all know that in one day in notts city there is more than one knife crime happening. If the justice system took strict action on knife crime at the very beginning of its spiralling this trend could of been avoided. Now we have kids carrying simply because they’re in fear 🙄
