The teenager has been bailed with conditions until September 14. A police spokesman said tackling drug supply and drug-related harm is a priority in Gosport.

‘Our message to the public is to please keep reporting any information about drugs supply in your neighbourhood to us, no matter how small,’ he added. ‘You won’t always see an immediate police response, but that’s because we are working behind the scenes to develop the wider intelligence picture, and the information we get in from the public feeds into that.’
