Man charged and drugs and knife seized after police chase in Luton
A man has been charged after police officers seized a substantial amount of Class A drugs and a knife in Luton.
Officers from Bedfordshire Police’s Boson team were on patrol when they spotted a man acting suspiciously behind a bush on Northdrift Way on Wednesday (September 9).
As they approached, the man ran off, leading to a short chase before the long arm of the law caught up with him.
Members of the public said they’d spotted the suspect discarding items as he ran – with police finding a knife and a substantial amount of Class A drugs.
Later that day, officers searched a property in connection with the incident – and found further bags of Class B drugs and drug paraphernalia.
One man has since been charged with multiple drugs offences and possession of a knife.
