A routine crash response in Palmerston North took a dramatic turn for police when they discovered a man armed with a loaded crossbow, and an arsenal of weapons…

A crossbow AND samurai swords? What is this, medieval times?
Right? Like the guy was preparing for some sort of medieval LARP gone wrong.
Probably just a collector who panicked when the cops showed up. Still, driving with that in your car is asking for trouble.
be mental health issues, not just 'collecting'. Sad really.
Why would anyone need a loaded crossbow at 1.40am? Sounds like he was up to no good.
but you don't carry them around at 1am for no reason.
I bet the cops were like 'weapons check? yeah nah' and then found this.
Glad no one was hurt. Hope he gets the help he needs.
Worked a night shift near there last night. Saw flashing lights but didn't think it was this serious.
safe out there mate.
Also, four samurai swords? That's a bit extra.
Crossbow through the window? Genuinely scary.
