BASEBALL bats and balaclavas, one with a skull face, were seized from a car by police.

The Operations Patrol Unit for Worcestershire, part of West Mercia Police, today shared this photo of balaclavas, baseball bats and gloves seized from a car.

OPU Worcestershire polices the M5, M42, M50 and strategic road network in Worcestershire and investigates serious/fatal crashes.

A spokesman for OPU Worcestershire said: "A proactive stop check led to these items being discovered in a vehicle. Of course all the occupants were keen baseball players and the balaclavas/gloves were to keep them warm on this cold morning."
