Operation Sceptre saw Greater Manchester Police officers take action against knife crime in the region
Officers’ latest attempt to stamp out knife crime in Greater Manchester has seen 180 blades recovered and 28 people arrested.
Sergeant Lisa Quinn, from GMP’s Serious Violent Crime Programme, said: “Our work across Greater Manchester has resulted in another successful set of Op Sceptre results. We are proactively tackling knife crime by getting out in our communities and raising awareness of the dangers of carrying a knife. “I encourage members of the public to continue to provide us with any information or intelligence that you may have, as this supports the work that GMP and our partners undertake in our fight against knife crime and allows us to take the necessary action to minimise the devastating impact it can have on our communities. Remember, speaking out could save a life.”
