An 18-year-old man from Grantham has been arrested after police found an 11-inch knife and class A drugs in his possession.
On Tuesday, April 20, officers were alerted to suspicious behaviour by CCTV operators in the town, which prompted a search on an 18-year-old man.
When police searched him, they uncovered an 11-inch zombie style knife as well as a “significant amount” of class A drugs.
The man was later arrested for possession of an offensive weapon in a public place, as well as suspicion of being involved in the supply of controlled drugs.
The 18-year-old has been released under investigation, and officers have seized the weapon and drugs.
This case falls under Operation Raptor, a countywide operation which aims to tackle and reduce offences involving weapons.
Chief Inspector Phil Vickers said: “Operation Raptor shows our ongoing and long-term commitment to getting weapons off the streets of Lincolnshire. We will take every available opportunity to do this to ensure that our county remains a safe place to live, work and visit.
“We work closely with community partners, in this case South Kesteven District Council CCTV Team, to keep local communities safe – This was an excellent example of that close working and I am grateful for their support.”

A snack bar in Lincoln has been told to make improvements in several areas after being given a one-star food hygiene rating.
Monks Road Snack Bar, located on 23 Monks Road, was visited by city council inspectors on May 25, 2022 and the rating was recently published on the Food Standards Agency’s website.
The standards found at the time of inspection showed that improvement was necessary in the areas of ‘hygienic food handling’ and the ‘Cleanliness and condition of facilities and building’.
It was also deemed that there was “major improvement necessary” relating to the ‘Management of food safety’.
Monks Road Snack Bar was previously given five-star ratings in June 2016 and September 2018.
The Lincolnite tried to contact the business on numerous occasions throughout the day on Friday, July 1 but the line was continuously engaged.
