Police officers in Sutton were able to catch a drug dealer after he ran away – by following his footprints in the snow.

A post on the Facebook page of Nottinghamshire Police’s Ashfield team said: “Your Operation Reacher team were out on the hunt targeting those who continue to cause misery for the good people of Ashfield.

“It didn't take them long after they spotted a large group of known drug users waiting in the cemetery just off Jubilee Road, Sutton.

“As soon as Mr Dealer appeared and started to deal, the officers sprung into action.

“Anyway, he was arrested for possession with intent to supply class A drugs after two bundles of wraps and cash were recovered.”
