A teenager with a set of knuckledusters lying at the bottom of his bag received a warning from police after he was caught taking them into court.
Sergeant Matt Lee, of Dunedin, said police officers at the Dunedin Courts were alerted to a 17-year-old caught bringing a set of knuckle dusters, while going through security on Sunday at 9.20am.
He had been going to court to pay a fine when the set were discovered in his bag.
The knuckledusters were seized by police and the teen received a warning for possession of an offensive weapon.
They would be destroyed by police, Sgt Lee said.
