A MAN was found in possession of drugs in Chickerell following a search by Weymouth & Portland Police.

Two men were searched by officers after police received reports that people were taking drugs in the Chickerell area yesterday.

It came as cycle-mounted police carried out a tour of problem behaviour hotspots in and around the town.

A police spokesman said: "The team was out on cycle patrol making the most of the lovely weather. Whilst out we patrolled our known anti-social behaviour hotspots.

"We also attended reports of drug use in Chickerell resulting in two males being searched. One male was found in possession of drugs and has since been reported."
