Two teenagers have been arrested after brandishing large knives in a public place.

Officers from the Fleetwood neighbourhood police team were called to Bispham on Sunday night after receiving reports that a group of youths were causing a disturbance in the area.

When police arrived they found the group and carried out a number of searches, finding two of the teens to be in possession of some large knives - one a large kitchen knife and another a hunting-style knife.

"Following a number of searches, two youths have been arrested after being found in possession of knives.
