These are some of the most terrifying weapons found on the streets of Lancashire

Police in Lancashire have worked tirelessly in recent years to rid the county of illegal weapons - these are just some of the most terrifying and dangerous.

Among these horrific weapons are machetes, martial arts swords, hunting, skinning and butterfly knives, knuckle dusters and wearable blades, taser devices disguised as car fobs, as well as throwing knives and swords hidden in walking sticks.

This terrible haul of weaponry shows how far some people will go to arm themselves, and the determination of Lancashire's police officers to keep our streets safe.
