A ban on the sale of so-called "zombie knives" is set to come into force in England and Wales later this week.

Inspired by horror films, the curved blades with serrated edges are often sold as collectors' items, but police say they are increasingly being carried by criminals. Last year a north London teenager was killed with one of the weapons.

Truro MP and Safeguarding Minister Sarah Newton said the ban would "keep communities safe". 

The new legislation, banning the sale, manufacture, rental or importation of zombie knives will take effect on Thursday. Anyone caught breaking the law will face up to four years in prison. The weapons can be bought on the internet for as little as £8.
