A MAN has been charged after a knife was seized by police in Northfield.

Officers from West Midlands Police’s Project Guardian Taskforce were patrolling around Bristol Road South, Northfield on Monday, November 3, when they stopped a man.

Following searches, a knife was seized, and a 23-year-old man was arrested.

Javarne Sawyers has now been charged with possession of a knife and will be appearing before Birmingham Magistrates Court later this month.

Project Guardian is a specialist taskforce which tackles knife crime and youth violence.
