Wigan teenager admits bringing knives to college
A teenager has admitted to being armed with two blades at Wigan and Leigh College.
The 16-year-old, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, appeared before the borough’s youth court to face a single accusation that he was found at the college with a pair of kitche knives on October 28.
The court referred him to the local youth offending team’s youth offender panel for a 12-month contract and his parents or guardians were ordered to pay court costs and a victim surcharge totalling £105.
An order was made at the hearing for the weapons to be destroyed.
