A fake gun, three swords and a medieval axe were all seized by police after a car chase in Warwick.

At around 8.20pm on Monday (August 11) officers chased a vehicle which failed to stop in the town, following it to the suspect's home address.

Officers "had cause to enter" their home and when inside seized three swords, two 'push daggers', the double-sided medieval axe and the imitation firearm.
