An arrest warrant has been issued for a Pembroke Dock man charged with carrying an offensive weapon in public in Tenby after he failed to attend a court hearing this week.

Thirty-three-year-old Simon James Gutteridge, of Meyrick Street, was scheduled to appear at Haverfordwest Magistrates Court on Tuesday, charged with carrying a knuckleduster on Upper Frog Sreet, on March 5, but failed to turn up for the hearing.

Magistrates issued an arrest warrant without bail for the defendant.
