TWO teenagers caught a police community support officer's attention acting suspiciously in a communal garden.
PCSO Kevin Tudge's instincts were right as one of the 17-year-old boys was discovered with a quantity of cannabis.
PCSO Tudge said: "While I was on ASB hotspot patrol today in Elgar Avenue, I encountered two males in the communal garden, one of which was seen acting suspiciously.
"An amount of cannabis was seized from one of the males who is 17 years of age.
"Officers attended the location and carried out stop searches.
"The Communal garden is there to be enjoyed by the local families, Pickersleigh Safer Neighbourhood Team will continue to patrol the area to help keep it a safe place for locals to enjoy."
