Northumbria Police arrested a suspected teenage drug dealer following a short chase in Wallsend on Wednesday.
The boy, 16, was arrested after police officers spotted him on a scooter in the Willington Quay area and found his behaviour suspicious. Officers made the decision to conduct a stop-and-search, but before this could happen the teenager made a run for it - even jumping over a garden fence.
However officers were able to detain the boy. After a search, ten bags of cocaine and two of cannabis were recovered. The teenager has been arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply drugs. He remains in police custody.
