A man has been arrested and prohibited weapons seized from a house in Worcester.

This morning, officers conducted a warrant at Wasdale Court, Warndon.

A search of the property was carried out and officers found a quantity of class B drugs (cannabis) with an estimated value of over £2,400.

Mobile phone, cultivation equipment and around £1,000 in cash were also seized by officers, as well as other paraphernalia relating to the supply of drugs and a substantial number of prohibited weapons, including:

Knuckle duster

Two machetes

Two bayonets

Two kukri knives

Dagger

Cutlass

Medieval flail

Diving knife

A 36-year-old man was arrested at the scene on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of class B drugs and possession of prohibited weapons. He currently remains in custody as our investigation continues.

Police Constable Ben Sly said: “This morning a quantity of drugs, along with weapons and money were recovered from the address and a man arrested after a warrant was carried out in Warndon.

“This warrant shows we will not tolerate drugs and weapons within our community and will continue to act on information given to us.

“The Warndon community can help us by continuing to report any signs of criminal activity to us – the easiest way to do this is on our website. Any bit of information, no matter how small it may seem, could help make a big difference.”
