THREE “air soft weapons” were seized by police near Evesham on Sunday.

The Local Policing Priority Team for the patch took to social media to show the capture which came about from intelligence from the public.

The post read: “A tip off from a member of the public led to the recovery of these air soft weapons near Evesham today.

“The fact that they had been concealed and their location makes us suspicious as to their potential use, but they are in safe hands now.”

Evesham Journal is awaiting further detail and comment from West Mercia Police.
