A DELIVEROO rider allegedly took a hit on a bong after dropping off a takeaway.

He was invited indoors by two stoned students who had ordered fried chicken and chips.

One said: “It was my first ever Deliveroo. The driver made a joke about the smell so I asked him if he wanted to come in for one.

“So he did and took a hit and had a chat with us. He was really nice and said that he sometimes does it before he goes out.

“After that he had to leave because he had another job.”

The rider, who works in a town in the Scottish Borders, got in touch with the customer after the student posted a photo of him on Snapchat.

The student said: “I put the photo up and he replied saying he hoped we had enjoyed the food. I’ll definitely be ordering again.”

Deliveroo is investigating the December 28 incident.

A spokesman said: “We are aware of an image showing a rider invited into a customer’s house using an item linked to illicit substances.

“Deliveroo has a zero-tolerance policy for any rider found to be using drugs and will take appropriate action following the outcome of the investigation.”
