A 21-year-old man will be in court later today after plainclothes officers allegedly found him roaming the streets of Dartmouth with a hidden machete.
He was picked up Tuesday night around 11 on the 100 block of Albro Lake Road for breaching a court order.
Police say a search of the man turned up the big knife concealed under his left arm.
Staff Sgt. Darrell Gaudet tells News 95.7 the man has a history of legal trouble.
“This individual was known to us and that’s why he was targeted for breaching his conditions,” he said. “It’s not known why he was carrying this weapon but it’s off the street thanks to our plainclothes members.”
The man was under a 10-year weapons prohibition.
