Police Constable Hollie Fothergill, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: "Weapons have no place on the streets of Nottinghamshire. The force takes all reports of weapon-enabled crime extremely seriously and is working hard every day to keep people safe and prevent violence from happening in our communities.

"I'd like to reassure the public that we will take robust action against any individuals who carry and use weapons to cause harm and we will do everything we can to take action against those who impact on the safety of others."
