A 20-year-old man has been sentenced after plain clothes officers intercepted a drugs deal in Middlesbrough.

The incident happened on Thursday 10th August on Park Road North when plain clothed officers deployed the police drone as part of an operation to intercept a drugs deal.

20-year-old Leon Mount from Norton was removed from a stationary Honda scooter which is seen on drone footage being approached by a group of people. Two officers approach the scooter and Mount, making a concerted effort to escape, drops packages of drugs before being detained.
