A TEENAGER has been sentenced after being caught on CCTV dealing drugs in a clothing shop in Bromley.

TK Maxx security guards called the police to the store in the high street after spotting the 17-year-old exchanging cash and drugs with two other youths.

When he was stopped and searched police found he had a large quantity of cannabis and a lock knife on him, which he attempted to get rid of.

At Bromley Magistrates’ Court the boy, from Lee, pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply a Class B drug and possession of a knife in a public place.

He was handed a 12 month referral order to the Lewisham youth offending team at the court on February 24.

Officers arrested another boy in connection with the incident which happened on November 18 last year.

But he was released without charge.
