This biannual week of action ran from May 18th – 24th and gave members of the public the opportunity to dispose of unwanted knives at police counters across Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and Powys.

These are some knives handed in to Aberystwyth.

Please remember that if you have concerns about anyone carrying a knife, you can report it to the police or anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Additionally, if there are areas where you live or spend time that you don’t feel safe in, you can report this on a website called 'StreetSafe'. The information you provide is passed onto the relevant police force who can then assess your report and take necessary action.
