CANNABIS was seized by police after they chased a gang of males in Kidderminster.

Officers were responding to several reports of anti-social behaviour and drug use at the play park on Mallow Crescent.

On Monday evening (May 9), officers could smell cannabis and found four men and a dog at the park. 

Officers said the gang ran away when they tried to speak with them.

On Facebook, Wyre Forest Police said: “After a short foot chase an amount of cannabis was seized from one adult male, who will now be dealt with for possession of a controlled drug.

“Work is underway to identify the other three and to catch up with them regarding their ASB.

“This behaviour is a menace for local residents and prevents families and children from safely using the park”.
