Police are looking to arrest a Watford teenager who failed to answer bail over the possession of a ‘zombie' knife.

A warrant was issued on September 5 for the arrest of the 17-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons.

The teen had been charged with possession of an offensive weapon in a private place in Dagenham on August 28.

The weapon, a ‘zombie style’ knife, is a bladed weapon inspired by zombie films, which often have long blades with serrated edges and words etched onto them.

The teenager had previously been given a youth rehabilitation order after he admitted to failing to report for his youth offending team meetings.

The order involved a four-week curfew from 7pm to 7am in a Watford flat, commencing on July 13.

The original referral order had been made in June, following the grievous bodily harm of a person on January 18 last year in Woodford.
