Police seize replica firearm and sword during anti-social crackdown in Bedford
One person was arrested for possessing an offensive weapon after Police seized a replica firearm and sword in Brickhill earlier today.
The suspect was also arrested over appropriation of electricity after officers responded to concerns about anti-social behaviour and criminality in the area.
Officers also seized three mopeds and electrical cabling.
Working in partnership with BPHA, two garages that had been used in connection with anti-social behaviour have now been reclaimed.
A spokesperson for the Bedford Community Policing Team said: “We would like to thank residents who continue to share information with us. This result highlights the importance of community intelligence and the ongoing work of neighbourhood officers and PCSOs, who are often the first to hear about the issues affecting local people.
“Anti-social behaviour has a real impact on our communities, and we remain committed to tackling it. We will continue to work closely with our partners, act on information provided by residents, and take robust enforcement action where offences are identified.
“If you have information about crime or anti-social behaviour in your area, please continue to report it. Your information helps us take action and make a difference.”
