An arrest warrant has been issued for a teenager accused of carrying a knife in Ipswich.

The 17-year-old from Stowmarket, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has been charged with carrying a bladed article in a public place.

The defendant had a green and purple lock knife on Shackleton Road in Ipswich on August 19 last year, according to court documents.

However, as the defendant failed to attend Ipswich Magistrates’ Court on June 26, a warrant for his arrest without bail has been issued.
