Officers were called to the flats in Robin Hood Way, The Meadows, after reports that a group of men were smoking cannabis. The men fled when police arrived but were found upstairs in a boiler room. One suspect was found to be in possession of a knife and cannabis. Arjum Pandya, aged 21, of Elm Close, Selby, North Yorkshire, has been charged with possession of an offensive weapon in a public place and possession of cannabis. He is due to appear at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on 27 January 2023. Inspector Karl Thomas, district commander for Nottingham South, said: “This was a good piece of police work and shows why we respond to calls as rapidly as possible. “It is always a great result when we are able to take dangerous and potentially lethal knives off the street. Educating people about the dangers of knife crime remains a priority across Nottingham South. “I am pleased we have charged this suspect and placed him before the courts.”
