You asked
Please will you tell me how many knives and weapons have been taken off the streets for 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022?
We said
Thank you for your enquiry.
We do not hold data on the numbers of knives or weapons that have been "taken off the streets" by the police in England and Wales, including those seized during stop and searches.
This information may be collected and held by the Home Office; you may wish to contact them (via: crimeandpolicestats@homeoffice.gov.uk) about your request.
If you have any other crime-related queries in the future, you can email crimestatistics@ons.gov.uk.
