A man has been arrested after officers were called to reports that a scrambler bike and an electric bike were racing on the Loop Line, narrowly avoiding children in pushchairs.
A 19-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class B controlled drugs , dangerous driving, and using a vehicle without third party insurance. On searching an address connected to the suspect, a man was seen attempting to make off from patrols and was detained in a nearby garden and a black rucksack located containing cocaine, cannabis and cannabis resin, along with snap bags, scales and other associated paraphernalia consistent with drug supply.
Detective Inspector Richie Shillito said: "Criminals involved in the supply of illegal drugs bring misery to our communities. It is an illicit trade that depends on violence and intimidation to exist, and exploits the most vulnerable in our communities. Those involved in drug supply are known to use our roads and every day, proactive Roads Policing patrols and stop checks help to disrupt their activities.
