Teen in School Knife Case Confesses to Six Additional Crimes

A teenager who previously admitted bringing a knife into a Jersey school has pleaded guilty to six additional offences, including grave and criminal assault and theft.

The boy, now 15 but aged 14 at the time of the incidents, appeared before the Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday. Due to his age he cannot be identified. He is scheduled to be sentenced by the Royal Court on 21 April.

Prosecuting legal adviser Kerry Grieve told the hearing the youth carried out an assault on a man at McDonald's - St Helier in St Helier last September, and committed a grave and criminal assault against a family member on 6 February.

The court also heard that on the same day he stole items — including two pairs of sunglasses, a padel racket and a Bluetooth phone adapter — from an unattended vehicle.

Prosecutors said the teenager then attempted a robbery at a flat in St Brelade on 7 February and admitted possessing a knife in public within the parish.

Grieve added that he subsequently tried to unlawfully enter La Haule Manor intending to commit theft.
