Dorchester Road in Weymouth was blocked earlier this evening after a teenage girl sat in the road and refused to move.

A spokesman for Dorset Police said a member of the public called at 6.14pm this evening to let them know of the incident.

The spokesman said the road was not been officially closed but they were turning back traffic in both directions around the Rembrandt hotel area.

The road is now clear.

The police spokesman said officers left the scene at 7.19pm and the teenager was passed into the care of other agencies.
