Another Katana Off The Street – Concord PD Disarms Wannabe Ninja
On Tuesday, the Concord Police Department arrested a burglary suspect in downtown concord who was carrying a samurai sword at the time of his arrest.
Concord Police said an observant officer (on only her second unsupervised day on the beat) recognized the suspect and made contact, placing the suspect under arrest and confiscating the replica Japanese longsword. Further search of the suspect revealed the stolen property from the business, according to police.
Neither the suspect or victimized business were identified, but police said the building was burglarized in the nighttime hours and the suspect was captured on video. All property was returned to the business owner.
Police further gave a Social Media “way to go” to the investigating officer “Wilkens.”

Swords now?
You can get one of those stupid things for $49.99 on QVC.
So we hear…
Whew. For a second there I thought Concord was issuing swords to their officers!
Wonderful job new Concord police officer! We thank the police for all their efforts to keep us safe.! Sadly though, I’m sure a liberal California judge has already turned this criminal loose onto the streets to prey on us again. There’s no more real Justice in the state. Criminals are given a free pass, while the honest law-abiding citizens are the ones that suffer.
Plenty of places that are still signed up with your philosophy of justice.
Great – now we got to watch out for guys with swords.
Do you know if the sword was part of the property stolen during the night burglary?
Not for certain, David, but we are hearing from local folks who are apparently familiar with a man who wields a sword when he is out and about in that general area.
open carry, I guess
Banzai!!!
