A TEENAGER found with an axe and drugs in public toilets in Cardigan has been handed a community order.

Kian Karshe, of 58 Brackley’s Way, Solihull, Birmingham, appeared before Aberystwyth magistrates last week.

The 18-year-old pleaded guilty to possessing an axe, 1.3g of cannabis, and 1.1g of cocaine while in the toilets at Mwldan on Sunday, 26 September last year.

Magistrates made Karshe the subject of an 18-month community order to include 100 hours of unpaid work, and he must pay £85 costs and a £95 surcharge.
