A 15-year-old boy has been remanded into custody after his sentencing over a weapons stash and terror-related offence was adjourned.

The teenager, who cannot be named, from near Market Drayton in Shropshire, pleaded guilty to possessing a butterfly knife, a stun gun, a baton and crossbow, without supervision, last November.

He also admitted having terrorist information in a third-party's manifesto.

The court heard he was being bullied at school at the time and was autistic. At the Old Bailey in London, Judge Rebecca Trowler KC adjourned his sentencing until 29 August.
