Newcastle’s Dedic stopped by police after being spotted with bow and arrows

Newcastle United defender Amar Dedic was stopped by police in Northumberland after being seen carrying a bow and arrows. Armed police responded following a public alert, stopping Dedic and a friend in a vehicle in the Darras Hall area. Officers seized the archery equipment but determined neither man posed any threat to the public, with Dedic cooperating fully throughout the incident.

Northumbria Police stated the bow and arrows were intended for recreational use, and inquiries remain ongoing. Newcastle goalkeeper Mark Gillespie and former defender Paul Dummett arrived at the scene by chance to offer assistance. Dedic, who joined Newcastle from Benfica for approximately £30m in August, had no ill intention according to reports.
