(UK) Aylesbury man caught with samurai sword stash [View all]

A Bucks man has been caught with a private stash of samurai swords.

Lee Hanson, 34, of Petronel Road, Aylesbury, has been ordered to carry out 150 hours of community service after he was caught with the two swords in Eaton End, Aylesbury.

The weapons were discovered on January 26.

At a hearing at Wycombe Magistrates’ Court on February 25, Hanson pleaded guilty to a charge of possessing an offensive weapon in a private place.

(Excerpt)

Apparently a “stash” is now any number of items greater than 1.

It is comforting to know that Aylesbury is now free of the scourge of katana and wakizashi attacks.

I would presume that they were modern reproductions, as are 99% of such swords in private hands. Dial H For Hero Mar 2022 #2
