London’s police are enhancing citywide presence and search activities following the increase of unrelated knife-stabbing incidents throughout the city, London Police Deputy Assistant Commissioner Graham McNulty said in a statement on Monday.
The statement was released following the information that two teenagers were stabbed to death in London and Greater Manchester over the weekend.
The assistant commissioner said that tackling violent crime remained the police force’s top priority and that officers have conducted over 2,500 stop and searches in the last three days.
