Isaac Omar jailed following knife incident in Burnley
A Burnley man has been jailed after he was found in possession of a knife in the street.
Isaac Omar (44) of Rosegrove Lane, was arrested and charged with possession of a knife and was remanded in to custody to appear before Blackburn Magistrates’ Court on Friday where he was given an immediate 12-week prison sentence.
Arrangements have also been made which mean Omar will not be returning to Burnley once he has served his sentence.
He had been arrested after an incident in Rosegrove Lane around 4pm on Wednesday, January 14th following a report of a dispute between two men who knew each other.
Officers quickly attended and one of the men was arrested on suspicion of possession of a knife.
A police spokesman said: “We recognise the strength of feeling this incident has generated and so we wanted to bring you this update as soon as we could.”
