The syringes were picked up and disposed of. The two men were given words of advice on how to dispose of any sharps safely.

"We would strongly advise parents to make sure that they tell their children not to touch any discarded needles and to tell an adult so that arrangements can be made for them to be collected," a spokesperson for Bridport Police added.
