“A teenage boy made a run from us but we soon caught up with him and, thanks to a very helpful member of the public, found him hiding in an alleyway.

“A quick search found him to be carrying a bag of cannabis, and 45 wraps of cocaine, crack cocaine, and heroin..

“Unluckily for him, we also found a stash of class A drugs where he had been hiding.”

The boy was arrested, and has now been released while further enquiries are carried out.
