ZOMBIE knives, machetes and antique daggers were among hundreds of knives placed in an amnesty bin in Harlow.
The bin was placed outside Harlow Police Station in November.
It was opened up on Tuesday morning as Essex Police is due to clear all 15 of its bins across the county to coincide with Sceptre week, which focuses on tackling knife crime and serious violence.
YH spoke to Deputy Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner, Joel Charles as well as Chief Inspector Emily Holmes and Detective Inspector Karen Osborne.

How many times do we have to have these bins campaigns been going for at least 10 years now maybe it's time for gun bins the problem is not getting better it's getting worse no deterent because they never serve long enough or get slapped on wrist. the only way to sort this out is put them in a prison camp only guards on outside then give them the knifes back to play with when the reality hits home they will stop using them out on the streets 🤔😉😡
