Two people were arrested in Birmingham and weapons, drugs and cash seized after a member of the public reported suspicious behaviour on a city street.
Officers from Birmingham Police were called to Grove Cottage Road in Small Heath just before 6pm on Wednesday after a man was spotted with a weapon in a parked car.
The officers, from the Operations Unit, approached the vehicle on Grove Cottage Road and detained two men while the car was searched, with a knife, knuckle duster, drugs and cash recovered.
A man aged 28 was arrested on suspicion of possession of a knife, possession of an offensive weapon, possession with intent to supply Class A and possession of Class B drugs, while a 50-year-old man was also arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply.
Both remain in police custody.
