Staffordshire Police said they seized drugs and cash along with the weapons and those arrested were all held on suspicion of drugs offences.
The drug seizures included a 20-year-old man as he got off the train from Walsall to Cannock who the force said had 50 deals of heroin and crack in his socks.
Two vulnerable people were also found by officers as they searched 20 suspected "cuckooed" homes, places where gangs have taken over the place for criminal activity.
PC Lymer, who said his hairstyle "gained its own notoriety" when he appeared on TV show CopsUK: Bodycam Squad, had his 22in (55cm) locks shaved off at a community event on Saturday.
He set up a JustGiving page and the funds will be split between Katharine House Hospice, StrongMen charity - which helps men cope with bereavement - and Mummy’s Star, which supports women diagnosed with cancer during or near pregnancy.
"Through donations, social media shares or just kindness in attending my event to support me has meant I have achieved this amazing figure," he said.
Pupils urged to get Covid test after India variant found
Sixth form students at a school in Lichfield are being asked to get a precautionary Covid-19 test, after cases of the Indian variant were identified.
One case has been confirmed at the The Friary School, while
a further two are deemed likely to have the variant.
The cases have
self-isolated, and close contacts in school have also been isolating in line
with government guidelines.
All Year 13 pupils have been asked by Staffordshire County Council
and Public Health England to get a precautionary PCR test to check there are no
additional cases of Covid-19.

Dr Richard Harling, Staffordshire County Council’s director for health and care, said: "With sixth form students at The Friary finishing their studies on Wednesday, it is sensible to ensure there are no further cases of Covid-19 in this particular group, which is why we have asked all students to get a precautionary PCR test."
