Man jailed after carrying knife in Anglesey

A 31-year-old man has been jailed after being found with a knife on a Menai Bridge street.

Arron Dean, of Dale Street, Menai Bridge, was at an address with other residents when he became aggressive and threatened to harm them.

He left the location with a knife in his hand and began to walk towards the high street.

Officers quickly located and arrested Dean, who threw the knife to the ground when he was challenged by taser trained officers.

The 31-year-old appeared at Caernarfon Magistrates Court on Thursday 18 June where he admitted to being in possession of a knife in a public place.

He was jailed for 26 weeks.

Sergeant Akhil Patel said: “Carrying a knife does not make anyone safer, it puts everyone at more risk of danger.

“Tackling reports of knife crime is always a priority to us and we will continue to act to keep the communities of Anglesey safe.

“We continue to urge anybody with information about those carrying knives in public to report their concerns to the police or anonymously via Crimestoppers.”
