A boy has been arrested after police seized two large knives.

The 14 year-old was arrested yesterday afternoon on suspicion of carrying an offensive weapon as a result of a stop and search carried out by police in Tottenham.

On Sunday at around 3pm in Summerhill Road a teenager was arrested for possession of two large knives, possession of herbal cannabis and handling a stolen Oyster Card.

Officers say he was behaving suspiciously in the back of a cab and they carried out a stop and search as a result.

In the image tweeted by @MPSHaringey one of the blades is a ten0inch hunting knife with its own sheath and the other appears to be an eight-inch kitchen knife.

The teenager was taken to a north London police station where he is still being held.
