It's A Fact - Knives Take Lives
A person who has with them, in a public place, any offensive weapon can commit an offence. IT’S THE LAW

What is an offensive weapon?
An offensive weapon can be many things, including any bladed or sharply pointed instrument. Most knives are offensive weapons. IT’S A FACT!

If found guilty of possession you could be liable to IMPRISOMENT, FINE OR BOTH.

Injure someone and the consequences could be far worse – UP TO LIFE IMPRISOMENT.

Quite simple – there’s no excuse for carrying any kind of weapon.

What can YOU do?
Get rid of them!

Let’s get these offensive weapons off our streets and make North Wales a safer place to live. Hand in any weapons at any Police Station in the bins provided.
