A man has been charged after lethal weapons were found during two proactive police searches.
Officers stopped a car in Clifford Avenue, Beeston, in the early hours of Monday and arrested three people after finding class A drugs, a knife and a screwdriver in the vehicle.
A subsequent search at a property in Wellington Square, Nottingham, led to the discovery of two curved swords.
Following enquiries, John Nnaah, of Wellington Square, Nottingham, has been charged with possession of a knife in a public place, possession of a sharply pointed article in a public place and two counts of possession of an offensive weapon in a private place.
The 41-year-old appeared at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court yesterday (2 August 2022) and was granted bail until his next appearance at the same court on 30 September 2022.
The two other detained suspects have been bailed pending further enquiries.
Sergeant Louise Ellis, of the Nottingham city centre Reacher team, said: “Thanks to these proactive searches, we have seized potentially dangerous weapons and put a suspect before the courts.
“It is important that the public know that it is illegal to carry knives and that, whatever people might think, they won’t protect you from harm but will actually make you much more vulnerable and liable to end up in danger.”
