A weapons amnesty has seen a record-breaking 370 items handed into police.

The items, including large knives and swords, were surrendered as part of a national operation to take weapons off the streets.

The regular amnesties in the county often see the number of items handed in exceed 100, but this total is thought to be a record.

Amnesty bins were located in Cambridge, Peterborough and South Cambs, with an additional collection in Ely recovering 25 weapons.
