The force’s officers then chose to put in place a closure order on the property to protect the neighbours.
A spokesperson for Thames Valley Police said: “Yesterday during Operation Sceptre officers from Cowley, Barton and South East had come together and conducted a warrant for an address in Cowley.
“This had a positive outcome and multiple bladed articles have been seized and arrests have been made in relation to this.
“We have put a closure order on the address keeping neighbours safe and the nights quieter.
“We strive to keep knife crime out of Oxford and to keep all members of the community safe.”
