Drugs and e-scooter seized after stop and search in Leighton Buzzard
Police collared a man in Leighton Buzzard – and seized drugs and an illegal e-scooter.
Officers spotted a gathering of known drug users near the canal while on patrol on Sunday.
They explained: “While out on patrol today, our officers spotted a familiar gathering of local drug users near the canal — all mysteriously orbiting around a young chap on an e‑scooter like he was offering Black Friday discounts.
“The moment officers approached, our e‑scooting entrepreneur attempted to “wheel” himself out of the situation…”
But unfortunately for him, he couldn’t outrun the long arm of the law, and was taken into custody.
Police discovered he was carrying a large amount of cash, class A and B drugs – and seized them all, along with the scooter.
A search of his home uncovered even more cash and class B drugs along with weighing scales – which were also seized.
