A man has been jailed after carrying a knife and trespassing at Crewe station, the British Transport Police has announced.

Jordan French, 21, and a second man were stopped at the station on Thursday 26 March and searched under the misuse of drugs act.

Officers found a knife in French’s waistband and two phones.

Jordan had also been found to be trespassing on the tracks at the station an hour previously.

French, of Charnwood Road in Birmingham, appeared at North Cheshire Magistrates’ Court a day later where he pleaded guilty to carrying a knife and trespassing on the railway.

He has been jailed for six months.

The second man stopped alongside French was arrested and charged with possession of cannabis, trespass and travel fraud.
