A DANGEROUS weapon was seized by police during a routine stop and search.
On Tuesday, October 6, during the early hours of the morning, police were patrolling Grange Farm Close, South Harrow where they stopped a male driver.
He was required to take a roadside breath test which he failed and was arrested.
The man then informed officers that he had a “stick” in the car which he “meant to get rid of”.
Officers searched the car and seized a friction lock baton.
Borough Commander Simon Ovens said: “This was a proactive stop of a vehicle, culminating in an arrest which means that a drink driver in possession of a dangerous weapon has been taken off of our roads.”
