Surrey Police join call for zombie knife surrender

The scheme will be launched on 26 August and will run for just under a month, until 23 September

Surrey Police will join in the surrender and compensation scheme for zombie-style knives and zombie-style machetes being launched by the Government.

The scheme will be launched on 26 August and will run for just under a month, until 23 September.

Under the scheme, these items can be surrendered to police and lawful owners will be able to claim compensation for the items in most cases, if the total value of the items is more than £30.

Claims can be submitted to Surrey Police using a form on the Government website.

Across Surrey, three designated drop off points will be set up.

They will be at: Caterham Police Station, Guildford Police Station and Staines Police Station.

Items must be wrapped up and placed in a sealed bag or box and must not be carried open at any time.

Once in the police station, the owner must not take the item out until requested to do so by a police officer or member of police staff.
