Pembrokeshire police's crackdown on the knife carrying culture is continuing.

The division is running a knife amnesty, with special bins being placed at six police stations, namely Haverfordwest, Pembroke Dock, Fishguard, Tenby, Milford Haven and Narberth.

People are being encouraged to place any knives they wish into the bin so they cannot be used in violence, without the fear of being prosecuted. So far, over 120 knives of all kinds, including one machete, have been handed in.

Over the festive season, door staff in Tenby and Haverfordwest have been using a metal detector while supervised by police.

A number of people were scanned, but no knives or other weapons were being carried.

Superintendent Euros Lewis said: "Some people seem to think that carrying a knife is acceptable and keeps them safe. However, it is an offence and you are actually putting yourself in danger of your weapon being used against you. "The threat to the public and police when knives get into the wrong hands is significant.

"If you carry a knife - please do the right thing and dispose of it in the bin at the police station before you get arrested or injured."

The amnesty runs until January 6, which still leaves enough time for people to dispose of any unwanted knives or other weapons.
