Sergeant Jon Groves, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “Providing a visible presence on the streets also helps us to deter criminals, with stop and searches playing an invaluable role in helping us to identify and stop different crimes before they happen.
“Although the knife crime team’s main focus is keeping people safe by pursuing those who pose the greatest risk to our communities, the only way we can do this is by working proactively, while also acting on the latest intelligence, so I would like to commend our officers for their awareness in these cases.”
