This is the moment our inquisitive cops took another dangerous weapon off the streets.
They were carrying out searches in #Birmingham when they spotted a large combat knife hidden inside a hollow street-side railing.
Officers from the Washwood Heath Neighbourhood Team made the discovery in Ward End Park Road
It was a great find by the team – one which could easily have gone unnoticed given the way it was concealed – and another nasty weapon taken off our streets.
The searches are part of our continued work to tackle street violence and protect the public.
We also recovered a machete stashed in bushes St. Margaret’s Road Park and searched Oaklands Recreational ground in #Yardley.
We’re doing our bit to tackle knife crime – and you can help us.
We need parents to speak to their children about the devastating impact of carrying knives – and for our communities to tell us if they have suspicions someone they know routinely carries a weapon.
