Ninja sword seized after two teenagers arrested in Birmingham
A ninja sword was seized after two teenagers were arrested following a police chase in Birmingham.
Officers from West Midlands Police's Project Guardian Taskforce spotted the two boys acting suspiciously in Kings Norton on Thursday night and gave chase when the boys attempted to run away.
They were detained on Pine Wall Avenue and, following a search, one of the boys was arrested on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon, possession of Class B drugs, and possession of Class B drugs with intent to supply.
Following the searches, a ninja sword, Class B drugs, a large amount of cash, and a mobile phone believed to be linked to drug dealing were all seized.
The second boy was released at the scene, while the 14-year-old boy remains in custody.
A spokesman for West Midlands Police said: "Project Guardian is a specialist taskforce which tackles knife crime and youth violence.
"There is particular emphasis on reducing knife crime, through a range of tactics from plain-clothed operations to high visibility patrols.
