Newcastle United defender Amar Dedic was questioned by Northumbria Police after being spotted carrying a bow and arrows in a public area, though authorities determined he posed no threat.
Newcastle United defender Amar Dedic was recently questioned by Northumbria Police following reports that he was seen carrying a bow and arrows in a public space. According to reports, a hiker spotted the 24-year-old Bosnian international and a companion near the Military Road reservoir area in Harlow Hill, Northumberland. The sighting prompted a significant police response, with six vehicles dispatched to the scene. Newcastle teammate Mark Gillespie and former player Paul Dummett were reportedly in the vicinity and assisted officers during the encounter. Following an investigation, police concluded that Dedic and his companion posed no danger to the public and allowed them to leave. However, the bow and arrows were confiscated by authorities. A Northumbria Police spokesperson confirmed that while the items were believed to be intended for recreational use, the investigation into the incident remains ongoing. For residents and visitors in the UK, this event serves as a reminder that carrying items perceived as weapons in public spaces can trigger significant police intervention, regardless of the intent. It remains to be confirmed whether any further legal action will be taken against the individuals involved as the police inquiry continues.
