MADONNA’S troubled son Rocco Ritchie has been arrested in a cannabis bust

Rocco, 16, was caught with cannabis in his rucksack after neighbours fed up with his bad behaviour reported him to cops, according to The Sun.

They were furious after spotting Rocco, son of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels director Guy Ritchie, “smoking or doing drugs” in their posh neighbourhood.

Sources said cops were alerted and saw the 16-year-old sitting on a wall with a male friend. As they approached, Rocco was seen tossing something away. Officers are said to have noticed traces of cannabis on his clothes.

And when they opened his rucksack they found a small amount of the Class B drug.

Rocco, at the centre of a recent bitter custody battle between mum Madonna, 58, and Guy, 48, was arrested for cannabis possession.

It happened in North London, reportedly just a few kilometres from his father’s home.

Last night a source said: “Rocco has become a well-known figure in the neighbourhood and not for the right reasons. He’s been repeatedly seen acting suspiciously.

“This incident was the final straw. Local residents are fed up with him acting in this manner and called the police.”

His parents’ feud began in December last year after Rocco stayed in London with Guy.

Madonna and Guy have been engaged in a bitter custody battle.

He had refused to travel with Madonna after she had finished the UK leg of her world tour.

She launched legal action in the US and UK demanding her son, then 15, be returned to her.

Lawyers for Guy argued Rocco was settled in school. In March, a lawyer for Rocco said the feud was causing him stress.

A month later, The Sun revealed photos of Rocco puffing on a suspicious-looking cigarette underneath London’s Festival Pier on the Thames.

Rocco’s relationship with his mum improved and in September Guy and Madonna agreed he would stay with Guy but spend regular time in the US.

Last night a Scotland Yard spokesman said: “A 16-year-old has been arrested for possession of cannabis. He was bailed and dealt with by Camden Borough’s Youth Offending Team.”
