He was found to be in possession of a large kitchen knife and an axe and was arrested and charged to court for possessing a bladed article in a public place.

A suspected stolen quad bike was located in the Illingworth area and was recovered to allow the Vehicle Identification Unit to reveal its true identity.

Officers also stopped a vehicle with the driver providing false details.

A police post said: “Unfortunately for him, the details he gave Officers was for a wanted male which made him remember his real name pretty quickly.

"Driver was reported for having no insurance and driving otherwise in accordance to his licence.”
