Officers detained two individuals following calls about a machete threat against a person.
Emergency services attended an address in the area on Friday. Upon arrival, they recovered a bladed weapon and held the pair on suspicion of knife-related crimes.
A spokesperson for the local constabulary stated that the quick response by officers led to the weapon being recovered and both men now remain in custody.
Authorities received reports of a man being menaced with a machete on Northfield Road in Coventry on the previous day. Officers attended the scene and took two men aged approximately 20 and 30 into custody on suspicion of possessing a knife. Both remain in detention while investigations continue.
The detentions occur as the force intensifies its focus on problem areas throughout the city with increased officer visibility.
The representative continued that the Safer Towns Summer initiative involves collaborative efforts with partner organisations to ensure public spaces feel secure and inviting for residents and visitors alike.
Officers will conduct visible patrol duties and enforcement operations in areas identified as having higher crime rates. Community policing teams remain available to address any issues raised by the public.
Residents with concerns, regardless of scale, can contact the force via the 101 telephone number or through the online Live Chat facility on the official website.
