Met police raid a south London flat at 5:09 AM, smashing through the door to seize ten illegal knives—including zombie-style blades—during a major crackdown on knife imports from China. A 20-something man is arrested on suspicion of importing prohibited weapons as part of a broader effort to remove dangerous blades from streets. Despite rising concerns, knife crime and robberies in London are actually down, with bans enacted since September 2024 and a major May operation seizing hundreds of knives. The city’s overall violence rate remains lower than many global peers, as authorities push forward with targeted patrols to keep London safer.
