A friction lock baton and several containers filled with cannabis were found stashed across a house. Response officers visited the house in Valley Road, Carlton, after receiving intelligence that linked the address to a separate offence.
After being let inside the property at around 1.30am on Friday, May 27, police carried out a search. A friction lock baton was found, the force said.
Otherwise known as ‘telescopic truncheons’, it is now illegal to own, keep in a private place, or sell these weapons anywhere in the UK, Nottinghamshire Police said. Samurai swords, zombie knives and knuckledusters are also among the weapons it is illegal to have in the UK, under the Offensive Weapons Act, which came into effect on July 14, 2021.
