A “zombie-style knife’ was seized by police who raided a home in Bath city centre. A number of other items, including a substantial amount of cannabis and equipment associated with drugs supply, was seized from the property in the Victoria Bridge Road area.

Local police officers carried out a warrant at the home based on intelligence on suspected illegal drug supply this morning (Wednesday, October 2). They spent time engaging with communities in the area following the operation and providing reassurance.

Avon and Somerset Police said a man, 30, was arrested on suspicion of possessing and being concerned in the supply of a controlled Class B drug and possession of a prohibited weapon (zombie-style knife). He remains in custody.

Police said: “Nobody should have to endure criminality in their community, and we’d encourage anyone with information about drug supply to please report it on 101 or online. That information can then be used to plan proactive policing operations, such as the one conducted today.”
