Knives taken off the streets of Morecambe
There has been a bin outside the police station for three weeks now as part of an operation aimed at reducing knife crime and getting knives off the streets.
The amnesty ended yesterday, Monday.
Police said that the operation sometimes starts off slowly but by the end of the amnesty the bin is rammed full of all sorts of knives and bladed instruments.

Most of the knives which have been taken off the streets will be destroyed.
However, some of the weapons handed in to police will be used to create a sculpture made entirely out of knives dedicated to victims of knife crime.
