POLICE swooped in a suspected drug dealer operating in broad daylight in Weymouth yesterday.

A spokesman for Weymouth and Portland Police said: "We received information of possible drug dealing in the Abbostbury Road area.

"Officers attended and located a male who was not from the local area.

"Following a search the male was subsequently arrested on suspicion of drugs offences and is assisting with our enquiries.

"Drug dealers are not exempt from the Government restrictions on necessary travel and therefore we would ask that they stay home."
