A group of British men were arrested after arriving at Gatwick Airport with weapons including knives, knuckle dusters, mace and a tazer stun gun, police said today.
They were stopped in the green channel of the south terminal as they arrived back home from Orlando, Florida at midday on Saturday, a spokesman for Sussex Police said.
The weapons were uncovered when Customs officials searched their bags.
Four men who ages ranged from 17 to 21 and from Redhill and Reigate in Surrey, were arrested and interviewed at a police station in Crawley.
Ben Harrington, 21, from Woodhatch, Reigate has been charged with possessing two large fixed blade knives, the spokesman said.
The other three members of the group were cautioned.
