Operation Sceptre-Local officers held a day of action to tackle knife crime and anti-social behaviour.

Havering Police Officers held an excellent high profile day of action on Friday 17 May, in Farnham Road, Petersfield Avenue and the Briar Road Estate, following concerns raised by local residents.
