An e-scooter rider allegedly dumped a stash of drugs in the bushes while trying to get away from police in Gerrards Cross. 

Police officers say the rider of a private e-scooter - which is not legally allowed to be driven on the roads - failed to stop for them on two separate occasions on Saturday (June 26). 

When they finally caught up with them, they put their "coppers' nose to good use" and discovered a hidden stash of drugs discarded into the bushes nearby. 

Police said: "Drugs seized, e-scooter now off the streets and the rider faces some difficult questions."
