A GUN AND TWO SWORDS SEIZED
THE father of a stalker was found with an arsenal of weapons, including a gun, ammunition, swords and a flick knife, when police searched the family home.
Officers went to the house in an East Yorkshire village as part of an investigation into stalking offences committed by the man's son, a court heard.
Russell Ward, 61, of Londesborough, near Market Weighton, admitted possessing a Smith and Wesson revolver, dating back to the 19th century, without a certificate. He also admitted having ammunition without a lawful certificate, two swords and a flick knife. He admitted possessing a small amount of cannabis.
Claire Holmes, prosecuting, told Grimsby Crown Court that police went to Ward's home and discovered the weapons because they were on display on the walls. Officers also found a hidden flick knife in a bedside table drawer.
