Police Warn on Dangers of Carrying Bladed Items
Sergeant Steve Willetts of Nottinghamshire Police said: “Any kind of bladed object can become a very dangerous weapon in the wrong hands. Pidgeon had no lawful reason to be in possession of this item and has now been held to account.”
He added: “I hope this case serves as a warning to others, not only about the consequences of carrying sharp objects around but also of how seriously we take shoplifting offences.”
