Officers acted on information and stopped a vehicle in Thorpe Road, Palfrey yesterday afternoon.

A 36-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender in connection with armed disorder in Reedswood Lane on July 31. A man was shot and three others suffered stab wounds.

A West Midlands Police spokesman said: "The man remains in police custody today.

"We've already charged a man, and made a series of arrests, in connection with the disorder last month and our enquiries remain ongoing.

"Anyone with information can contact us via Live Chat on our website, or by calling 101, and quote 20/720593/24.

"You can also contact us with any images or details, alternatively, ring independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. Tell them what you know, not who you are."

The police also swooped on two men on Friday. Armed officers stopped a car in West Bromwich Road in the Delves and arrested one 46-year-old man on suspicion of attempted murder.

After armed West Midlands Police officers stopped the car in the Delves on Friday, officers recovered an axe and a second man, aged 24, was arrested on suspicion of possessing an offensive weapon. Both men were taken into custody for questioning.
