A MAN has been arrested after police swooped on an alleged drug deal just minutes after a tip-off.

Thames Valley Police said officers pounced after being given information reporting a 'drug deal' happening close to Oxford Train Station yesterday.

The force said teams of officers were on the scene within minutes and arrested a male on suspicion of involvement in drugs offences.

A large amount of cash and Class A drugs were recovered from the scene.

Police posted online today a plea to the public to continue 'to pick up the phone if you see drug dealing in the community'.
