A TEENAGER has been charged with a weapons offence after alert officers carried out a stop-and-search in Rochford.

Officers on patrol in Southend Road shortly after 4.20am on Friday 15 November saw someone acting in a way they described as ‘suspiciously’.

They stopped him and carried out a stop-and-search and discovered a knife.

The 17 year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was arrested and later charged with possession of a knife in a public place. He appeared at Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court on Saturday 16 November and is next due to appear at the same court on 6 December.
