Kitchen knives could be seized from the homes of suspected criminals under a proposed Home Office plan.
Police will be consulted by ministers to allow them extra powers to 'seize, retain and destroy bladed articles' kept in private, even if the knives are 'not on the Home Office's banned list of weapons'.
According to The Telegraph, the move is one of numerous measures created to harden up sentences for selling, importing and possessing knives.
