A MAN has been charged with weapon and theft offences in Tamworth.
Riyen Lea, 39, of no fixed address, has been charged with possession of a knife blade or sharp pointed article in a public place, theft from a shop and failing to comply with a community protection notice.
It comes after officers responded to a report of a man who had tried to leave a shop on Elmhurst Drive without paying for goods.
His bag was searched, where items relating to a reported theft from another store were found, along with a lock razor.
Lea is due to appear at the North Staffordshire Justice Centre today (19th October).
