Newcastle United defender Amar Dedic sparked a major police operation after he was spotted carrying a bow and arrows near a reservoir in Northumberland.

Dedic, who joined Newcastle in a £30 million deal from Benfica in the summer, was reported by a member of the public who saw him and a friend walking with the weapon near the small village of Harlow Hill.

According to the Daily Mail, police dispatched several vehicles to the area, including some that were armed response units.

Dedic and his friend were stopped by police before officers searched a car and seized the bow and arrows.

After their investigation, officers deemed that there was no threat to the public, although enquiries are ongoing.
