Knives have no place on our streets and we are determined to locate the person responsible and hold them to account. Anyone who attempts to use intimidation or violence as a means of taking what is not theirs will be brought to justice. We are following up a number of lines of inquiry and are keen to speak to anyone with information that will assist us in this.”
