He's now behind bars
Two blades have been seized from a 19 year-old after he tried to run away from officers. The county knife crime team were on patrol in the Mansfield area on Tuesday, May 16, when they spotted Maleek Lindsay acting suspiciously.
He attempted to run away from the officers, but they soon caught up with him and he was stopped on Frederick Street. Lindsay, of Silverhill Close, Strelley, pleaded guilty to two charges of possession of a knife in a public place. On Wednesday, May 17 he appeared before Nottingham Magistrates' Court where he was sentenced to six months in a young offenders' institution.
PC Dean Fenton, of Nottinghamshire Police’s county knife crime team, said: “Patrols like the one we were carrying out in this instance play a key part of what we do each day. By being out in the community and having our eyes and ears on the street, we are able to spot suspects that recent intelligence suggests could be a knife-carrier.
“Using this case as an example, this process directly led to us being able to seize two dangerous knives and take them out of harm’s way, so we’re pleased with this result.”
