A martial arts weapon was seized by police earlier this month in a car park in Camillo.
Armadale Police Senior Sergeant Troy Douglas said police were conducting patrols in Camillo on February 2 and located a man walking through a car park in Westfield Road.
“We had reason to speak to this man and found he was allegedly carrying this martial arts weapon on his person at the time,” he said.
The 40-year-old man was charged with carry or possess a controlled weapon and will appear at his local court at a later date.
