Officers from the local neighbourhood policing team were on patrol in Wimborne on the afternoon of Wednesday 17 November 2021 when they stopped a 14-year-old local boy and had reason to carry out a search.
A Gurkha-style kukri knife was seized, along with a quantity of suspected cannabis.
The boy was arrested and subsequently charged with possession of a knife in a public place and possession of a class B drug and appeared at Poole Magistrates’ Court on Thursday 18 November 2021. He is next due to appear at the same court on Tuesday 4 January 2022.
