Police on horseback chased after and arrested suspect on a bicycle

Two mounted police officers gave chase to a man on a bicycle before making an arrest near Yeovil, Somerset.

Avon and Somerset Police's mounted section suggest that Class A drugs may have been recovered after a man cycled away from a routine patrol in the town.



Officers riding two of the constabulary's horses, named Quantock and Sedgemoor, gave chase.

A spokesman for Avon and Somerset Constabulary confirmed that a man had been arrested after the chase. He said: "We did arrest a 19-year-old man but he was subsequently released without charge."
