SEVERAL “nasty looking” knives and Class B drugs have been recovered after a police foot chase in Boscombe.

Neighbourhood Policing Team officers on patrol in Boscombe attempted to speak to a male in the Windham Road area on Wednesday, April 6.

The male, who was on his pushbike, didn’t stop for officers and made off while discarding a rucksack.

After a short foot chase, officers detained the man and the found rucksack which was discovered to contain a knife along with a quantity of Class B drugs and cash.

Officers later searched the man’s address and found further weapons.
