A suspected drug dealer was arrested after being caught on a drone camera tripping up as he tried to flee police.

A drone camera had captured him on an e-bike carrying out what was believed to be a deal.

He fled when police arrived, knocking one of the officers over as he went.

But the drone then tracked him and guided police to his location.

The video showed him stumbling and falling to the floor before they pounced.

They seized 26 bags of cannabis from him in Gravesend, Kent.

The 19-year-old was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply, dangerous driving, assault on an emergency worker, and criminal damage.

He was bailed while enquiries continued, as reported by Need To Know.

Inspector Tom Elliott of Kent Police said: “It is against the law to use e-scooters (or certain e-bikes) on public streets, pavements or cycle lanes.

“They are only permitted on private land, with the landowner’s permission and in areas where the Government has authorised trials.

“Currently, there are no such trials in Kent.

“Using [them] on public roads creates hazards for other road users, and in the event of a collision, the lack of insurance means others could be left to cover the costs.

“Officers will continue proactive checks in Gravesend, and the message is clear: anyone found riding an e-scooter or e-bike will face enforcement action.”
