Knife Sweep around Kilburn

Officers have been carrying out targeted knife sweeps across a number of locations as part of ongoing work to reduce knife crime and keep our communities safe.

Recent sweeps have taken place in: 
📍 Around Kilburn
📍 Church Street Recreation Ground (Horeston Grange)
📍 Horeston Recreation Ground

These operations involve proactively searching open spaces, bushes, and concealed areas where weapons may be hidden. Knife sweeps are intelligence-led and form an important part of preventing weapons from being accessed or used.

While no significant finds are always positive, even the recovery of a single weapon can help prevent serious harm.

We continue to work closely with partners and the community to identify areas of concern. If you have information about knife crime or suspicious activity, please report it – your information makes a real difference.

📞 In an emergency, always call 999
📞 Non-emergency: 101
💻 Or report anonymously via Crimestoppers

Together we can make our spaces safer for everyone.
