This afternoon, a member of the public contacted us to report a suspicious vehicle in the area. Local officers attended to investigate.

On arrival, officers observed an axe in the footwell. As a result, a Section 1 stop and search was carried out. During the search, officers recovered:

All items have been seized, and further enquiries are now underway to establish the circumstances surrounding the vehicle and its contents.
