Residents in Harlow are requested to surrender ninja swords to local police as part of a Home Office amnesty. From August 1, possession of such swords may lead to hefty fines or imprisonment. This initiative aims to reduce knife crime, supported by the Safer Harlow Partnership. Over the past year, knife-enabled crime in Harlow has decreased by 14 percent. Authorities emphasize educating the youth about the dangers of knives and prioritizing public safety.
"Reducing knife crime is not only a priority for the Safer Harlow Partnership, it is one of my top priorities for policing in Harlow. Knife crime has such a devastating effect on everyone involved, and we need to ensure we do everything we can to prevent it from destroying lives."
"Knife crime has reduced over the last 12 months, and I want to reassure the public that we will continue to ensure Harlow is a safe place to live, work and visit."
