❗Just a couple of days left of the government knife and machete amnesty before the law changes❗ As of 24 September 2024, changes to the Criminal Justice Act 1988 will make it illegal to possess ‘zombie style’ knives, as well as machetes. As a result of the change, which is supported by the NPCC Knife Crime Working Group, it will also be against the law to manufacture, import, sell or supply these items. This means that after 24 September, if you are found in possession of one of these knives or machetes, you could be prosecuted. The government is running a UK-wide amnesty – which will run until (Monday 23 September 2024). In Derbyshire, you can hand these into the enquiry offices of: ➡️ St Mary’s Wharf Police Station (Prime Parkway, Derby, DE1 3AB) ➡️ Chesterfield North Divisional Headquarters (Beetwell Street, Chesterfield, S40 1QP) ➡️ Buxton Police Station (The Silverlands, Buxton, SK17 6QJ)
👉 The Government is also running a compensation scheme during this amnesty.
