Police surprised at £700 drugs haul

A ROUTINE vehicle check during a neighbourhood patrol yielded £700 worth of cannabis.
PC Ben Collier, the community beat manager for Eldene, Liden, Covingham, Dorcan and Nythe, and Sergeant Madeleine Lynch, the deputy sector head for the east sector, seized more than £700 worth of what is believed to be cannabis and more than £1,000 in cash.
"This sort of haul, a class C drug haul, doesn't happen very often," said PC Collier.
The police's latest investment - a mobile safety vehicle designed for tackling anti-social behaviour - brought a result on its first outing.
During a patrol at 10pm the neighbourhood police officers searched five men, three of them from outside Swindon, in a vehicle near Eldene shops.
PC Collier said: "The persons surrounding the vehicle drew our attention to it in the first instance." advertisement
Under drug legislation police can search anyone they suspect of possession and PC Collier said while talking to the occupants the officers became aware of the smell of drugs.
As a result, two 18 year olds were arrested on suspicion for possession of a controlled substance with intent to supply while a further 17-year-old and 19-year-old were charged of suspicion of being concerned in the supply of drugs under section 23 of the Misuse of Drugs Act.
All four are currently on bail and investigations are continuing.
Police were surprised by the quantity of cannabis they found, as they said they would normally expect to recover such an amount from a place where it is being cultivated.
PC Collier said: "People suspected of using or dealing drugs in this area will be stopped, searched and dealt with very robustly.
"We receive and gather intelligence daily, we are prepared to act on this intelligence for as long as it takes before people relise they will get caught and will be prosecuted."
More than 30 cannabis factories have been uncovered in Swindon in the last 18 months.
Last month eagle-eyed neighbours were praised by police for helping to uncover a cannabis factory in Rodbourne.
Late-night deliveries to an empty property in Rose Street put the residents on alert and a subsequent raid revealed there was a fledgling drugs factory with more than 200 young plants.

Loitering around a car is thoughtcrime and punishable by room 101.

police constable cruising with a sarge
thats why we have young cops gungho for busting weed
theyre taken out by the older establishment ie the CIC (corruption in charge)abd shown the ropes
new pig recruits get their 1st rush from abusing power by busting weed smokers
most pigs probably remember their very first bust was most likely a soft target like a weed smoker and as lame and as gutless as that makes them for doing that i know their personalities and egos would never let them want to lose the memory of that bust long ago and im sure new recruits hear those stories and want to emulate their fucking loser hero peers
