A vicious-looking implement has been seized in the district.

The discovery was made after officers in Keighley stopped a car.

The wooden baton, with screws in the end of it, has been seized by police.

Sergeant Softley tweeted: “PC Worthington, of #KeighleyNPTwith an interesting find in a car just now , with a prolific burglar released from prison yesterday(yes why!!!) back in familiar surroundings for this offence...and it's not for flossing your teeth now is it?
