Hide AdA team spokesman said: “We have conducted our search in the three parks and are happy to let you know nothing was found apart from a few discarded needles, that have been disposed of correctly.
“While out in the parks we have spoken to members of the public and have discussed about our week of action, on the danger's of knives.
“There is also a knife amnesty at Mansfield Police Station’s front counter, where you can discard knives that you do not wish to have.”
