Watch moment police arrest suspected drug dealer as he rides bike through streets
This video shows the moment police arrest a suspected drug dealer as he rides a bike through the streets of Yorkshire.
South Yorkshire Police officers were carrying out patrols when they stopped the suspected dealer in Doncaster on March 13 before finding dangerous weapons during a search of his address.
Two officers working a night shift were carrying out mobile patrols in Mexborough in the early hours when they were made aware of a suspected drug dealer in the vicinity.
The pair made enquiries and went to attend the suspect's home address.
However before he returned home he was spotted on a bicycle, prompting one of the officers to run towards him and arrest him on suspicion of supplying illegal drugs.
While searching his home, officers ound more bags of drugs, a stun gun and a flick knife.
The 31-year-old was subsequently further arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm and offensive weapon. He has been bailed pending further enquiries.
Acting Police Sergeant Andy Whitwell, who was one of the two officers involved in this incident, said: "Proactive patrols conducted by response officers take place at all times of the day.
"They are shaped by the intelligence we gather and in this instance, we consciously targeted areas where there is a heightened risk of criminal offending.
"Thanks to the quick-thinking and professional instinct of my colleague who made the arrest, we were able to swiftly apprehend a suspected drug dealer, with dangerous weapons also recovered and removed from our streets.
"As response officers, we are trained to deal with any incident that comes our way and I hope this acts as a clear commitment of our abilities to act decisively, protect the public and disrupt criminality."
