FOUR men were arrested after a knife-point robbery in Waltham Forest.
A knife was seized in the arrest this week, which was part of the Met’s latest phase of Operation Sceptre to tackle knife crime in the capital.
Scotland Yard said the action has seen more than 500 arrests and 400 weapons taken off the streets.
Running from Monday, July 10, the week-long round of Sceptre focused on prevention in schools as children gear up for the holidays.
Safer Schools officers gave 149 separate school presentations to highlight the devastating consequences of carrying a knife.
The Met has been contacted for further information about the arrests.
