Caught Red-Handed Riding Illegally with Drugs
On the evening of 14 November 2025, local Neighbourhood officers stopped Allen in Coronation Square, Reading. He was riding a Sur’ron electric off-road bike illegally on the pavement. Before the police got to him, Allen tried to ride off but was quickly tackled and arrested under Section 23 of the Misuse of Drugs Act.
Officers found 60 wraps of Class A drugs (cocaine), cannabis, and £735.46 in cash on him.
