People who own “zombie-style” knives and machetes are being offered compensation by the government to hand the weapons over to police.
We are helping to facilitate this by accepting weapons at Parkside Police Station in Cambridge and Thorpe Wood Police Station in Peterborough from Monday (26 August).
People are advised to check the opening times of the police stations before they travel to take part in the month-long scheme.
An appointment is only necessary if five items or more are to be surrendered at any one time. If this is the case, people should call 101 to arrange a time to visit a police station.
Those wishing to take part in the scheme need to visit our website https://www.cambs.police.uk/news/cambridgeshire/news/2024/august/zombie-knife-compensation-scheme/ for full details of what is required.
Kind regards,
Tim Goddard
