Market Drayton man found with machete, knives, CS Spray and a taser in his car and home is spared jail
A man from Market Drayton found with a host of weapons in his car and home, as well as a stolen air rifle and drone has been handed a suspended prison sentence and unpaid work.
Shrewsbury Crown Court heard on Friday that police officers were at Christopher Norris’s address in Sutton Road, Tern Hill searching his house on August 15 last year when the defendant returned home in a car.
Mr Simon Rippon prosecuting told the court that officers then searched the car and found a machete in the door, a lock knife in a bag in the car, and a sheathed hunting knife in the boot.
Officers also found a can of CS spray and a taser in the 39-year-old’s bedroom.
Mr Rippon also told the court that a drone and an air rifle were also found in the property and had been reported stolen only the day before, following a burglary of a pest controller’s shed.
