A car has been halted in a town in Oxfordshire, resulting in an arrest after officers found weapons with blades inside.

Thames Valley Police stated on Saturday, March 28 that road officers stopped a car driver and uncovered two sharp implements in their van in Didcot.

The road user was additionally discovered to be operating without proper documentation, authorities indicated.

A member of the rural crime unit indicated that PC Woolley carried out a vehicle check on this van in Didcot. The car held two sharp implements. The individual was detained for this violation in addition to driving without appropriate authorisation.

The law describes a bladed item as any device equipped with a cutting edge or pointed tip that someone bears in a public area without a valid purpose, covering household knives, work knives, professional equipment, or combination tools.

Depending on the context and characteristics of the object, holding such an item can lead to a custodial term of as long as four years.
