1/2. During the latter part of the week PCSOs from #Abingdon Neighbourhood Team have been carrying out knife sweeps in some of the local parks in relation to #OpSceptre. We have concentrated on areas where we have recently seen anti-social behaviour. #KnivesRuinLives #C9441 pic.twitter.com/XdIZ4sqLWy
