Star Trek blade seized

This five-foot martial arts sword capable of beheading a man was recovered by shocked police in a house raid.

Batleth weapon

Officers seized the three-handled sword — which has huge pointed blades at either end — at a home in Gloucester.

It was shown yesterday at the start of a five-week national knife amnesty. Police hope 30,000 blades will be handed in, with owners free from prosecution.
