Amar Dedic sparks police response after bow and arrow spotted in Northumberland

It's not every day a Newcastle player makes headlines for something spotted out in the Northumberland countryside, but that's exactly what happened to Amar Dedic this week.

GiveMeSport, citing the Daily Mail, reports that Dedic "sparked police alarm" on Wednesday after being seen carrying a bow and arrows, with a concerned member of the public getting in touch with police over the sighting (GiveMeSport).

TeamTalk goes further, describing it as having sparked a "major police operation" after the Bosnian international was spotted with the bow and arrow out in the countryside, with the outlet noting he only joined the club recently (TeamTalk).

Chronicle Live corroborates the same account, confirming that the Newcastle defender's appearance with a bow and arrow in the Northumberland countryside was enough to trigger a significant police response (Chronicle Live).

All three outlets are telling the same story and agree on the key details: Dedic, out in the Northumberland countryside, was reported to police after being seen with a bow and arrow, leading to what's been characterised as a major operation. Police have shared a statement on the matter, according to GiveMeSport (GiveMeSport), though the full details of how it was resolved aren't spelled out across the reports.

It's a slightly bizarre off-field tale for Newcastle fans to digest, but with the Magpies due to travel to Fulham on Saturday 7 November, attention will soon turn back to matters on the pitch.
