A 48-year-old man from Rotherham has been charged with a firearms and public order offence and been remanded into custody.
Dennis Richmond, of Canklow Road, was arrested on Thursday, 31 August following reports of an incident that is believed to have occurred in the street in the Canklow area on Monday, 28 August.
A search of his address was conducted and a number of items were seized from the property including a loaded SMK20 rifle, a 17 inch bladed machete, 26 lock knives and a crossbow with arrows.
He was charged the next day, Friday, 1 September, with possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence and racially aggravated public order.
South Yorkshire Police continue to run the #Droptheknife campaign across South Yorkshire, raising awareness of the dangers and consequences knives and bladed articles can have if they are used as a weapon, to intimidate or for ‘protection’.

- wathupondearne Latest news in Yorkshire: January 24, 2019 11:28:24 AM Scotland’s former First Minister Alex Salmond has been arrested by police and charged, with a report sent to the procurator fiscal. He is due to appear in court in Edinburgh later today. Sky News are reporting that proceedings are now live under the Contempt of Court Act. Police did not say what Salmond, who served as first minister from 2007 to 2014, is charged with. Two people have made harassment complaints against the SNP grandee but he denies them and took successful legal action against the Scottish government over their investigation. Earlier this month a court said the government’s decisions were “procedurally unfair and… tainted with apparent bias”. At the time Salmond said he is “not guilty of any criminality whatsoever.” The party leader resigned following the loss of the Scottish independence referendum but represented Gordon in the House of Commons from 2015 to 2017.
