Officers from West Midlands Police's Birmingham Proactive Crime Team, Operation Skybridge, were patrolling around Small Heath yesterday (Monday), when three men were seen acting suspiciously in a vehicle.

The vehicle was stopped at around 5pm on Coventry Road, and following searches, weapons and drugs were found.

Skybridge officers carried out further searches and found large amounts of Class A drugs, cash, a zombie knife, two more knives, Class B drugs, and mobile phones believed to be linked to drug dealing.

Three men aged 18, 22, and 39, were arrested for multiple drugs and weapons offences including possession of Class A drugs with intent to supply, and possession of offensive weapons.

All three men remain in custody for questioning.

A spokesman for West Midlands Police said: "Operation Skybridge officers continue to carry out proactive enforcement across Birmingham, where they target offenders and disrupt crime."
