Zombie knife and suspected drugs found in Newark flat
Three teenagers have been arrested in connection with the investigation
Three teenagers have been arrested after a large zombie-style knife has been seized from a flat in Newark.
Wraps of suspected crack cocaine, as well as weighing scales, were also recovered from inside the same property.
It's after a neighbourhood officer suspected criminal activity at a property on Yorke Drive
Three boys, aged 16, 17 and 17, have been arrested on suspicion of possessing an offensive weapon in a private place and possessing with intent to supply Class A drugs.
Neighbourhood Sergeant Kate Taylor, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:
“These seizures and the arrests that followed are a prime example of exactly why we conduct the patrols in the community we do as a neighbourhood policing team.
“As a direct result of PC Bombroffe’s alertness and him deciding to act when something aroused his suspicions, we were able to seize a dangerous weapon and Class A drugs too.
“There is no excuse for anyone to own or store a so-called zombie-style knife, even in a private place like their home.
“Neither this – or anyone thinking of selling drugs in our community – will ever be tolerated by our neighbourhood team here in Newark.”
