A TEENAGER appeared in court after being caught with a knife in Bradford city centre.
The 17-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons due to his young age, appeared before the West Yorkshire Youth Court, at Bradford and Keighley Magistrates' Court, earlier this month.
He was charged with the possession of a knife blade/sharp pointed article in a public place.
The teen was caught on January 26 this year on Queensgate and pleaded guilty on July 11.
He was referred to the Bradford Youth Offender Panel for a period of six months.
He was also ordered to pay costs of £85 to the Crown Prosecution Service and a surcharge of £22 to fund victim services.
The Stanley knife is to be forfeited and destroyed, Bradford and Keighley Magistrates' Court ordered.
The teenager must pay the outstanding balance of £107 at a rate of £5 per week, commencing on August 8.
