Sword Taken Off The Streets!

I wanted to provide an update regarding knife crime, which some members around this area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the Met Engage priority survey.

We are aware that many people may be worried about knife crime in their local communities. We are committed to tackling knife crime wherever we find it, in order to keep you safe.  

If you would like to know more about the guidance that is available, our website includes a number of important resources that can offer guidance,  including what to do if you think someone you know needs help,  how to keep people safe, and support organisations you can talk to.  

Passing on information to organisations such as Crimestoppers or Fearless can not only help after a crime or incident, but vitally stop something from happening.

During our regular patrols within Yiewsley & West Drayton SNT, officers were flagged down by a member of public in regards to a large sword laying in one of the local car parks.

Officers rushed down to find the said sword at the location. The sword was seized and taken into the nearest police station preventing any further risk.

If you spot something that doesn't look right, don't hesitate to report it!

If you ever experience this issue or have information regarding an incident, please report it using our online reporting tools at https://www.met.police.uk/, speak to an operator in our Force Communications Room via our online web chat or call the non-emergency number 101.
