15 people have been arrested in South Wales during a nationwide week-of-action on knife crime.
Eight arrests were made in the Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan as part Operation Spectre, which is supported by police forces across the UK.
Across the region, eight raids were carried and 17 knives were recovered after being handed into special amnesty bins at police stations.
Over 30 knives and swords belonging to a collector were also handed over safely to neighbourhood officers.
South Wales Police also carried out extra patrols, test purchasing, intelligence-led knife sweeps and school visits, along with other community activites, such as a Safer Vale roadshow in Barry.

Jonathan Duckham, the force's knife crime lead, said: "This week of intensification saw some great results, but also focused heavily on engagements within the community, educating young people on the dangers of carrying a knife, alongside what to do if they become aware of someone carrying a knife."
"Teams also conducted test purchasing in shops with the support of our CYP, allowing us to ensure shops are being responsible with their sales."
"We are committed to tackling knife crime in south Wales, both by addressing those committing criminality, as well as addressing the issue early through education and engagement."
Locally, Operation Spectre in Cardiff and the Vale saw 27 knife sweeps and 24 community engagement events.
