Police seized weapons, including home made tasers, in North Staffordshire last night.

Officers from Newcastle and Kidsgrove seized the weapons yesterday evening (Thursday February 28).

We have no indication where in Newcastle Borough the weapons were found at the moment - and we will provide an update on this when it becomes available.

Gareth Morgan, Chief Constable of Staffordshire Police, welcomed the action.

He said:  "Just in case anyone thought the scourge of knives & violent crime was limited to the inner city. Well done team."

The haul included home made tasers

Yesterday police also seized a number of weapons - including nunchuks and knives - in two separate incidents in Hanley and Stafford.
