Anyone planning on going to the Festival this weekend, the message coming out from Hampshire Constabulary is loud and clear.
NO DRUGS PLEASE.
The drugs detection dogs will be back on the main gates and officers will search anyone suspected of being in possession of drugs.
We’re told by the police that …
- Anyone found in possession of cannabis for personal use will have it confiscated and receive a police caution – and therefore a criminal record.
- Anyone found with a significant quantity of drugs and therefore suspected of dealing will be arrested and taken into custody at the nearest police station.
- Those attempting to supply drugs will be vigorously prosecuted, including the possible forfeiture of assets.
A team of drug referral workers from Cranstoun Treatment Services will be working alongside officers to provide advice and information to anyone thought to be at risk of substance misuse.
