TIP-offs from members of the public led police to the scene of a suspected evening drug deal in Idle.

Officers searched a white Vauxhall Corsa – and its 19-year-old male owner – after seeing it alongside another vehicle in the car park of Holy Trinity Church, Town Lane, last Thursday.

A small amount of suspected cannabis was found and the teenager, of Thackley, who was dealt with by the officers. The other vehicle had left by the time officers arrived.

A police spokesman said officers are looking to combat drug issues.
