A Derbyshire man was arrested while carrying ‘several weapons’ – and was found to be wanted for a number of ‘serious offences.’

At around 3.30pm yesterday (Wednesday, February 15), the Heanor Safer Neighbourhood Team were called to reports from a concerned member of the public regarding a man in possession of a bladed article.

An SNT spokesperson said: “Officers swiftly attended the area, locating the male. Several weapons were found upon his person, which he was arrested for.”
