Kingston police want to thank the ‘legend’ who helped them catch an alleged drug dealer on Saturday night.
- FROM SUNDAY: VIDEO: Have-a-go hero casually sends suspected drug dealer flying while arm-in-arm with girlfriend
CCTV footage shows three town centre officers chasing their suspect near Richmond Road when a passer-by casually sticks his leg out and trips the fleeing teenager.
The man does this all while arm-in-arm with his female partner and without taking his hands out of his pockets.
He was later called a ‘legend’ and a ‘hero’ by Kingston police who tweeted the CCTV footage.
PC Seb Ellis from Kingston police said: “A number of Kingston Officers were chasing a suspect through the town centre over the weekend when they received some unexpected assistance from a member of the public.
“The Borough Commander was extremely impressed when he saw this footage and would like to meet the passer by personally to say thanks. So if you're out there get in touch.”
