News of the arrests and seizures comes as the issue of large knives was debated in Parliament.
Making a statement in the Commons on Tuesday on legislative proposals to tackle the use of machetes and other large knives in crime, Home Office minister Chris Philp said: "We intend to ban those weapons, going further than the weapons ban already introduced in the Offensive Weapons Act 2019."
He added: "In addition, we are proposing to toughen the current penalties for selling prohibited offensive weapons and for selling bladed articles to the under-18s. Under our proposals, the maximum penalty of those offences would be increased to two years imprisonment.
"We're also consulting on whether to provide the police with additional powers to enable them to cease, retain and destroy bladed articles of any length held in private where they are intended for criminal use, or whether the power should be limited to articles of a certain length."
