A Plymouth landlord has made a potentially threatening discovery under an ex-tenant's bed.

They located a pistol and a machete after the person living there moved out.

Charles Cross Police Team tweeted a photo of the discovery, saying the items have been sent for disposal.

The team made this statement on Twitter:

"These two items were found under a bed by a landlord after the tenant moved out. Thankfully sent for disposal now.

"The pistol is very realistic and most would not be able to tell the difference when it’s pointed at you."
