What is this

What on earth is this object please - A 'throwing star'?

This is part of an alert I received from the local police today.
Apparently they have been working at schools in this area, with their police dogs.

What is this thing they found?
I've never heard of it.

" Today and Monday Neighbourhood Officers and Police drugs dog attended the five secondary schools in the area as part of a planned operation working with the schools regarding drugs, violence and gang reduction.

During the course of this a number of items were recovered including a shuriken (also known as a throwing star) a grinder with some cannabis inside, as well as other paraphenalia.
Work will continue with the schools regarding safeguarding and other early intervention."

Re: What is this

Throwing star? it's a weapon commonly associated with and used by Ninja's, has very sharp points which when thrown, embeds itself into the person/item it is being thrown at.

Re: What is this

Shurikens (also known as throwing stars) are weapons used in martial arts. It seems they are now one of the weapons police are finding are being carried in the same way knives are.

The You Tube video link below describes exactly what they are – frightening weapons if they get into the wrong hands:

I don't know anything about Japanese Ninja's you see.

I don't feel very bright sometimes.
