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’.
