The hunting knife we recovered – one of 17 knives seized during the week
Officers on robbery patrols in Upper Dean Street (15 Nov) chased down a 16-year-old in the Arcadian car park after he ran from them: He was charged with possessing an offensive weapon, admitted the offence at Birmingham Magistrates Court on 17 Nov, and returned to a youth detention facility after it was found he was on licence for previous knife offences.
And the previous day another 16-year-old ran from officers during a stop and search in Blackcat Close, Solihull: A knife was found in his waistband and a large quantity of cannabis in dealer bags seized from a rucksack: He’s been bailed till a date next month to give officers more time to conduct enquiries: And in the early hours of 15 November officers stopped the driver of an Audi in Lawley Middleway on suspicion of drink driving.

A machete was recovered at the scene and a machete sheath found concealed inside the man’s trouser leg: A 29-year-old man was released under investigation and sent to a mental health unit for an assessment:
