Operation Sceptre In Force To Remove Knives From The Streets Of London

LONDON, ENGLAND - JULY 12: A police officer holds a knife in an evidence bag after removing it from the scene of an arrest near Elephant and Castle Station during Operation Sceptre on July 12, 2017 in London, England. Operation Sceptre was originally launched in July 2015 with the aim of reducing knife crime in London and was designed to coincide with new legislation that means those convicted of carrying a knife for the second time will face a mandatory custodial sentence.
