Rather than being upset about being caught, the teenager was more concerned that his new jeans, which he got as a Christmas present, were slightly muddy.
A statement by Gosport police on Twitter said: ‘PC Austin and PCSO Ireland then spotted four teenage males smoking something they shouldn't be in Fell Drive.
‘Despite being asked to stay where they were, in order for officers to catch up and speak to them, they made the rather unwise decision to run off.
‘Never a good move.

‘The male was more upset that the new jeans he got for Christmas were now slightly muddy.’
The other three teenagers have not been found.
In an eventful day, officers also stopped and dealt with a suspected drug driver in Elmore Close, and stop a verbal public order incident.
This was all before the foot chase after the smoking youths.
