A TADLEY teenager has been given ‘one last chance’ of avoiding prison after carrying a 10-inch hunting knife in the town last year. A judge has warned Reece Grandison, of Ambrose Road, Tadley, that carrying a blade is not cool and warned there will be no second chances if he s caught with a blade again.

Mark Ashley, prosecuting, told Winchester Crown Court on Thursday (February 4) how the 19-year-old was involved in “an incident” at McColl’s convenience store, in which he had been “verbally abusive to a staff member” and police were called.
