Newcastle United defender Amar Dedic was stopped by police after being spotted carrying a bow and arrow in Northumberland countryside.
Newcastle United defender Amar Dedic was stopped by police after a member of the public reported seeing him carrying a bow and arrow near a reservoir in the Northumberland countryside on Wednesday afternoon. Officers attended and located Dedic and a companion at the scenic location by Military Road in the Harlow Hill area shortly after 1.55pm.
Six police vehicles, including armed officers, were deployed to the area. Officers subsequently stopped a vehicle in the nearby Darras Hall estate, seven miles away, and seized the bow and arrows. Dedic, the 24-year-old Bosnia international who arrived at Newcastle in a £30 million deal this summer, was questioned at the scene.
Northumbria Police said: 'At this stage, it is understood they were for recreational use and there was no threat to the public. Enquiries are ongoing.' Hunting animals with a bow and arrow or crossbow is prohibited in the UK. Newcastle are reportedly not considering any disciplinary measures against the defender, and police enquiries remain ongoing.
