The court heard that Kwa is currently serving five months of custody suspended for 18 months after he was convicted of placing an article with a package with an incendiary device at a property in Grantham and for a bail act offence.

Kwa pleaded guilty to possessing a lock knife in a public place without good reason, and he admitted possessing 1.3grammes of amphetamine and also admitted possessing 0.5grammes of cannabis after he was stopped on February 9.

Defence solicitor Kevin Tomlinson said Kwa is aware the starting point for him is custody with the activation of his suspended sentence order.

Magistrates adjourned the case until March 21 when Kwa will appear at Derby Crown Court.

The defendant was released on unconditional bail.
