Man alleged of confiscating sword speaks out

A man alleged to have confiscated a replica samurai sword from teenagers in Ely, said he took it because it posed a threat. And he says he is waiting to get through to Cambridgeshire Police to invite them to collect it. CCTV images of the man, now known as Trevor Bennett, were released earlier today by police at Ely. They said the teenagers he took it from had told them he was going to take it the Ely Police Station. However, when he didn’t turn up with the sword, police issued a press release to track him. Mr Bennett spoke to the Ely Standard tonight and said the sword was all wrapped up and he was still trying to call police on the 101 number.
