A teenager was found with a knuckleduster, Naas District Court was told.
The claim was made by Sgt Mary Meade.
The court heard that the teen, who cannot be identified because of his age, is aged 17.
It is being alleged that he had the knuckleduster on March 2, 2026, at Moorefield Park in Newbridge. It’s also claimed he had €15 worth of cannabis at Standhouse Road, Newbridge, on August 11, 2026.
Sgt Meade also claimed that the knuckleduster was found after a vehicle was intercepted and no reason was given for having it.
The court was told that the defendant's dad lives in another country and a relative is "doing his best” with him.
Judge Desmond Zaidan initially adjourned the case.
