Another weapon has been taken off the streets of Waltham Forest after an ‘area sweep’ by police.
A lock knife was discovered on Friday in the Higham Hill neighbourhood in Walthamstow, which was described by police as a "violent crime area".
The weapon was discovered by officer PC Ware and a picture tweeted by Police on Friday.
In March a Freedom of Information Act request revealed there was a knife crime every day in the borough, on average.
Police have tweeted numerous knife pictures in recent months in a bid to assure residents they are taking action on knife crime.
