A number of weapons were recovered by the PSNI after they pulled over a car in Derry on Tuesday evening.
An axe and four telescopic batons were recovered by members of the PSNI's Tactical Support Group after they carried out a routine traffic stop in the city.
A man was arrested following the discovery.
"Upon speaking with the driver it soon became apparent that the illegally tinted windows were the least of their worries. From inside the vehicle officers seized four telescopic batons and an axe.
"The driver was arrested for possession of offensive weapons and taken into custody. The driver was later released pending report to the Public Prosecution Service,” a PSNI spokesperson said.
