A teenager from the Twerton area of Bath has appeared before magistrates for offences including carrying a knife and possession of drugs.

Now 18, he committed the offences when he was 17 and cannot be named.
At the hearing at Bath Magistrates’ Court on Monday 17th November the teenager pleaded guilty to possessing 1.2g of cannabis on 14th March in Twerton and that on 9th August, he had 0.4g of the drug in his possession.
He also admitted that on 9th August he had with him, without good reason or lawful authority, a bladed article, and that he behaved in a threatening or abusive way likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress.
Magistrates remanded him on unconditional bail until 17th December, when he will be sentenced. They have ordered an ‘all options’ pre-sentence report.
