A Menai Bridge man caught carrying a knife in public has been jailed for six months.

Caernarfon magistrates heard Aaron Dean became aggressive and threatened to harm other residents in a disturbance at an address.

He left the scene while carrying a knife in his hand and began walking towards the High Street.

Dean (31), of Dale Street, was quickly located and challenged by taser trained officers - he threw the knife to the ground and was arrested.

He pleaded guilty to possessing a knife in a public place and was sentenced to 26 weeks in prison.

Following sentencing on Thursday, Sergeant Akhil Patel of North Wales Police 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."
