Axe found hidden by busy Chelmsley Wood road

A FEARSOME looking axe has been found hidden among the bushes in Chelmsley Wood.
Earlier today (Wednesday) police had carried out a thorough search of the vegetation along Birmingham Road and uncovered the object.
The axe, which had a rusty head and metal handle, was photographed lying among the leaf litter and on the bonnet of a patrol car - giving an indication of its size.
Officers welcomed the fact that another weapon had been "taken off the streets".
Today's discovery follows a raid at an address elsewhere on the estate last week, during which both drugs and a cache of various swords and other weapons were allegedly seized.
