A 19-year-old man found in possession of a knuckle duster and a taser which was disguised as a torch has been arrested by police.
Patrol officers in Haverhill stopped a van in Haverhill on Wednesday afternoon, after having reason to believe the vehicle was being driven illegally.
Officers discovered a taser which had been disguised as a torch along with a weapon in the vehicle.
A police spokesman said: "At 1.10pm on Wednesday, February, 12 officers on patrol in the vicinity of Burton End, Haverhill, saw a vehicle park-up which they had reason to believe was being driven without insurance.
"A 19-year-old man from Haverhill was subsequently arrested on suspicion of the following four offences: driving without insurance; driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence; possession of an offensive weapon (a knuckle duster); and possession of a firearm (a taser device).
"He was taken to Bury St Edmunds Police Investigation Centre for questioning and subsequently released under investigation pending further enquiries."
