THIS image shows some of the knives which have been surrendered at Braintree police station.

Charity Only Cowards Carry emptied more than 30 knives from an amnesty bin at the station on Thursday.

The station wrote on Facebook: "If you have a knife you no longer need or want - just put it in our bin to keep it out of the wrong hands."

Knives can be dropped off anonymously at the station in The Avenue in the town centre.
