SUSPECTED drugs were seized from a moped rider after police officers were concerned about their 'driving style'.

Purbeck Police carried out patrols across its patch, including Lulworth, Durdle Door, Wareham and Upton on Saturday.

But on their journey back to their station, the officers came across a moped rider.

Concerned about the rider, officers followed and stopped them. Police say 'an amount of drugs' were seized and the rider will be contacted by police again.
