man found with knife

A MAN was cautioned after police found him carrying a locking knife along a canal path in West Byfleet.

A 20-year-old from Addlestone was arrested after officers from Surrey Police stopped him at Scotland Lock in Camphill Road on Saturday.

They discovered the knife in an air rifle case that the man was carrying. He told officers the gun was to shoot at targets on private land and that he carried the knife to deal with wildlife.

Neighbourhood inspector Lynette Shanks said: “This should be a lesson to anyone who may be carrying a weapon who is not clear on the law. 

“There should be no doubt that anyone found carrying an offensive weapon unlawfully will be arrested.”
