Officers traced the 24-year-old to Harbour Parade the same evening, where he was found to be posession of the weapon and knife.

Morley was charged on the same day with possession of an imitation firearm and a bladed article.

He admitted both charges following his actions on May 27 and was locked up for a year and two months at Canterbury Crown Court on Friday.

The term included the activation of two suspended sentences he was serving at the time of the offences.

Investigating officer DC Glenn Day said: “There is absolutely no reason or excuse for taking weapons out with you, and doing so puts you and others in danger.

“I am pleased at the speed at which Morley was located, arrested and charged and I hope the sentence sends a message out to others that jail awaits those who carry weapons.”
