Weapons haul in Chelmsley Wood

POLICE seized a number of weapons in Chelmsley Wood as part of a crack down on knife crime.
Four blades - a machete, a "Rambo" knife, samurai sword and kitchen knife - were found in Meriden Park.
Armed officers had swooped on the area last Thursday (February 21) and found a cache of "potentially lethal" items.
Residents reported seeing response vehicles in the vicinity and photos posted on a police Twitter account showed the deadly haul laid out on the grass.
Supt Jason Anderson, a tactical firearms officer, said: "Our work continues. Too many young people are carrying knives in our city with horrific consequences and loss of life."
There has been growing concern about an increase in knife crime across the region in recent months, although Solihull Police have said that the borough has far fewer offences than neighbouring council areas.
Four youths were detained following last week's incident.
