The maximum penalty for an adult carrying a knife is 4 years in prison and an unlimited fine. You’ll get a prison sentence if you’re convicted of carrying a knife more than once.
Hands up? Who can recall or provide a link for an individual getting even a custodial sentence, without really Googling etc, for carrying a knife?
You can do a lot of damage with a potato-peeler. Never mind a kitchen knife?
It’s a joke….
A three month prison sentence was suspended for 18 months and he was placed on rehabilitation and sent on a 35 sessions thinking skills course
Ironically, maybe he could fill in the questionnaire via the link that’s supplied in this news story?

Had previous convictions for it though.It’s a bit of a joke isn’t it?
The defendant had ‘taken Cocaine’. What were the swab results like they do at most RTC’s etc?
He had Cocaine but…’but the amount was not enough to be tested’…Hey?? Is this a joke?
In other countries like Cyprus & Greece, if you’re caught with one spliff, the Hawaii 5 ‘O’ visit you 3 times a year and put sellotape on the carpet looking for traces of weed?
His brief cited he had taken Cocaine, like it’s not his fault? As if he’d taken some heavy-duty drug to aleve or treat an ailment?
And, it’s the ole’ story in Court…’I only take it twice a month’ blah blah blah? How naive are our Magistrates & Judges?It’s alright though. He never took it out of his pocket. Although, CCTV operators could see a big flipping kitchen knife hanging out of his pocket,…..
Unbelievable
It would be interesting, if someone who knows how to go about it, to pursue a Freedom of Information Act inquiry to Wrexham Police the exact scale of Class A drug abuse in the town?
We’ve all seen the needles at the back of the Library, opposite the Police Station etc etc What is the gravity of the problem in Wrexham? People taken into custody are swabbed etcSo? What’s the score?
