Police find lock-knife in A5 vehicle search

A post on the North Wales Police Facebook page this morning (Wednesday) says:

"Officers from the #NeighbourHoodPolicing team recently had cause to stop a vehicle travelling along the A5 whereby checks led to officers searching the vehicle under stop search powers, specifically Section 1 of PACE - The Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984. 

"The search was positive and a lock knife was seized, resulting in a male being arrested and interviewed. 

"No good reason or lawful authority could be provided as to why the lock knife was in their possession in a public place, and the offence was fully admitted to with appropriate action then being taken. Possessing a knife can have devastating consequences for individuals and communities alike and will always be dealt with with the seriousness it deserves. 

"If you have any concerns in your area, you can report this via the appropriate #NorthWalesPolice channels or confidentially and anonymously via Crime Stoppers on 0800555111."
