FOUR machetes were discovered in a pillow case, hidden in a bush at Hartlebury Common on Monday (January 14).

The pillows were found on Monday morning by a member of the public, who then reported the discovery to police.

Wyre Forest Police later posted on Facebook: "If you have carelessly hidden your 410mm machete's in a pillowcase over Hartlebury common then here they are.

"Please contact Stourport police station, we will happily offer you suitable storage advice & discuss your choice of location."

A spokesman for Stourport Safer Neighbourhood Team said the knives are not thought to have been involved in any known crime and will likely be destroyed.
