A teenager with an 'obsession' for weapons who posted a video of a terrifying combat knife on Snapchat after almost killing a boy was just one of the offenders jailed in our region last week.
Prison terms were also handed to two thugs who landed punches on two men and left one fearing he would be thrown into a canal.
A gangster's girlfriend who transported six deadly guns to another criminal gang at the height of lockdown and a serial conman who stole cars and vans worth almost £50,000 were also put behind bars.
