It was revealed in court on Monday the pair - Jaiden Browne-Evans, 18, of Beaver Hill Road, Woodhouse, and a 15-year-old who cannot be named for legal reasons - were using a Chesterfield flat as a base from which to deal drugs.

However, Derbyshire Police have now confirmed that they are not pursuing the drug case against them due to ‘insufficient evidence’.
