- By MARK PAGE

MORE than 260 knives were recovered as part of a week of action from Humberside Police.

The force recently took part in Sceptre, a week-long initiative by the National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) that intensifies police efforts to combat knife crime and raise awareness of its devastating impact.

The national week of action took place from November 17 to 23, focusing on proactive policing through early intervention, education, and prevention.

Humberside Police officers collaborated with partner agencies across communities to protect those most vulnerable to knife crime.
