Thames Valley Police is joining police forces across the country by taking part in Operation Sceptre, a national week of action designed to reduce the threat of knife crime across the Thames Valley by removing dangerous weapons from the streets.
The knife amnesty will run next week, between Monday 15 May and Sunday 21 May, during which we would like to remind members of the public that they can safely and anonymously dispose of any type of knife or bladed article. The knife amnesty bins are available to use all year round.
Permanent knife amnesty bins are located in the following police stations:
BUCKINGHAMSHIRE:
Aylesbury,
High Wycombe,
Milton Keynes
Additional knife amnesty bins are located in:
Aylesbury; Southcourt Baptist Church, Penn Road
Milton Keynes; Westcroft Centre, Wimborne Crescent, Frank Moran Centre
(West Bletchley), Melrose Avenue (West Bletchley)
If you have any information about the possession of knives or criminal activity relating to this type of crime, please report online via our website or call 101.
Alternatively, you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers 100% anonymously on 0800 555 111.
