A BRADFORD man has appeared in court charged with possession of a knife in public and affray.

Adam Siree, 40, of Eskdale Rise, was handed a community order for two offences.

In the first charge, possession of an offensive weapon in a public place, he had, without lawful authority or reasonable excuse, an offensive weapon, namely a knife. This offence took place on Weyhill Drive, Bradford, on July 8, 2021. This is contrary to the Prevention of Crime Act 1953.

Siree was also ordered to pay £145 costs and a £95 victim surcharge for this charge.

The knife is to be forfeited and destroyed under the Prevention of Crime Act.

He was also sentenced for a charge of affray. On July 8, 2021, at Weyhill Drive, Bradford, Siree used, or threatened, unlawful violence towards another and his conduct was such that it would cause a person of reasonable firmness present at the scene to fear for his personal safety.

A collection order was made by the court at Siree’s sentencing hearing. The community order imposed on Siree includes a rehabilitation activity requirement.

Siree pleaded guilty to the two charges and was sentenced at Bradford & Keighley Magistrates’ Court on December 22, 2022.
