Teen Sentenced After Knife Found at Bexleyheath Funfair Disorder
A 13-year-old boy has been sentenced after being found in possession of a knife during a disturbance at Capital Funfairs in Bexleyheath earlier this month.
Police were called to the scene following reports of disorder involving groups of youths. While most had dispersed before officers arrived, a number of arrests were made for various offences including possession of offensive weapons.
Youth Offender Panels, like the one imposed on the 13-year-old, involve meetings with trained community members, victims (where appropriate), and the offender to discuss the impact of the crime and steps toward making amends.
