A spokesman said: “We have out on Racecourse Park with our metal detectors searching for weapons and knives which may have been discarded or hidden.

“We searched bushes and the edges of the park. We found two knives and multiple needles, along with a rusted tool hidden in the park grounds.”

The items have been disposed of.
