Discarded weapons found in Nottingham parks during operation

Nottingham Nottinghamshire Nottinghamshire Police Bestwood Nottingham City Council Police Top Valley Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service

Discarded weapons were recovered from Nottingham parks after a sweep with a metal detector. Police, firefighters and council environmental officers teamed up for the Safer Streets activity in the Bestwood and Top Valley area on Wednesday, April 19, which was aimed at making residents feel safer.

Nottinghamshire Police ’s Neighbourhood Policing Team for Bestwood and Top Valley carried out the weapons sweep, as well as high-visibility patrols on an electric bicycle. They also handed out leaflets to make people aware of StreetSafe – an online portal where people can report areas where they don’t feel safe so that action can be taken.

They also popped in at the Pulp Friction café in Bestwood. Firefighters from Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service supported the event by giving free fire safety advice to local residents and offering ‘safe and well’ visits.
