A FOURTEEN-year-old has pleaded guilty to dealing crack cocaine and possessing two knives in an Andover street.
The youngster, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was arrested in Florence Court, Andover, on 31 May after he was found in possession of the Class A drug.
The teenager was also caught with two knives, one of which was a kitchen knife and the other described as 'serrated'.
He pleaded guilty to all three charges at a hearing at Basingstoke Magistrates' Court, alongside two charges of failing to attend court while on bail.
The teenager will now be referred to a youth offender panel.
