Harrogate boy, 15, sentenced for stealing car and carrying knife
A 15-year-old Harrogate boy has been referred to a youth offender panel for 12 months for stealing a car and carrying a knife and bolt cutters.
The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was also ordered to pay a £22 surcharge to fund victim services.
Magistrates in Harrogate imposed the sentence on Friday after the teenager pleaded guilty to three offences, which all took place on January 20 this year.
The first was stealing a car of unknown value on John Street, Harrogate.
The second was having a kitchen knife on West Park Stray on January 20 and the third was for going equipped to steal with bolt cutters at the same location.
The court took into account the boy's guilty pleas when imposing the sentence.
