Detective Sergeant Jon Kerry, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “The force and its partners continue to work incredibly hard to prevent and reduce knife crime. We will always seek to put people who carry knives and use them to cause harm before the courts at the earliest opportunity.
“The reality is that carrying a knife is a no-win situation. It ruins lives and the consequences can be tragic for everyone involved.”
