Teen gets a final chance
The 18-year-old, of Beverley Drive, Bentilee, was handed 36 weeks in a young offenders' institution, suspended for two years, in March for a burglary.
Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court heard yesterday he failed to report as requested on July 10.
Peter McCartney, defending, said Kamara had attended 35 appointments since March.
"He has put some effort in and has provided some negative test samples for cannabis," said Mr McCartney.
"The probation officer thinks he has the potential to succeed. I invite you to give him one last chance."
Judge Paul Glenn decided to give Kamara that chance.
He told the teenager: "If you breach the order again, you will come back to me and there will not be any alternative.
"Pull your socks up. Let's try and get this order up and running again."
