A SHOCKING haul of weapons which had been confiscated from pupils at an Oldbury secondary school have been destroyed.
Oldbury Police tweeted an image of weapons which have been seized by officers from a single high school in the town, including BB guns, a knuckle duster and various knives.
They were handed over to officers to destroy after being discovered in a drawer which was being cleared out.
A West Midlands Police spokesman said the force has decided not to reveal the name the school.
They added: “The weapons were collected by the school over the last three to four years.
“The items were located after a drawer was cleared out and then handed to Oldbury officers for destruction.”
