2357196e-d3f7-47db-b3bd-91e2f0952c4dA 15-year-old boy suspected of dealing drugs was arrested when Police stopped and searched a vehicle in Newport last night (Wednesday), with officers seizing a quantity of cannabis, money and a knife.

An Audi A4 was stopped by Police on Barton Road, Pan at around 23:00 before a search of the vehicle was carried out.

Island Echo understands the vehicle had been seen driving dangerously in the Newport area earlier in the evening.

Officers hit the jackpot during the search of the vehicle as they discovered a large quantity of drugs, money, drugs paraphernalia and a lock knife.

As a result, a 15-year-old local lad was arrested on suspicion of possession of cannabis with intent to supply, being in charge of a vehicle whilst unfit through drugs and possession of an offensive weapon in a public place.

He was further arrested on suspicion of using a motor vehicle without a licence, using a motor vehicle without insurance and using a motor vehicle without a valid test certificate.

The vehicle was seized and taken away by recovery agents late last night.

The boy has been questioned and bailed until September while further enquiries are conducted.

Probably taking the drugs home to his parents who were most likely too spaced out to drive and get them themselves!! It won’t be too long before he is 18 and no doubt we will be seeing his identity revealed numerous times in the court reports.

and at 15 he will of course see the arrest as a badge of honour, that will enhance his street credibility and fear factor amongst his peers. He will be bragging about it, won’t care about it, won’t care about “a bit of bird in young offenders” and will be back on the streets, picking up where he left off, before he is even old enough to vote.

I suspect his parents are either no better, or at the end of their tether.

sadly, he is sentencing himself to a miserable future, by his own actions.

Another little feral shit taking the piss out of the law ”because of his age”. If the law can’t do anything because of his age, then the government need to lower the age so that they can, otherwise if nothing can be done he will get away with another 3 years being a little shit laughing at us all. make the closed prison into a borstal while they wait to be old enough to deal with. And before you do gooders start bleating, remember it’s because of you it is like it is now.

Well said. It’s all the namby pambys making the laws and sentencing so soft that causes this. 1 yaear in an army boot camp or a strict borstal ( like in the old days) might just work…. Bring back discipline in schools and corporal punishment to teach these fekkers that there are consequencest to actions that you will find painful.
Not a f’kin prayer in hell because of all the do-gooders in charge. Oh the poor darlings might cry….

And they will ban him from driving when he’s not legally allowed to drive anyway. Can’t pay a fine as he doesn’t work. Win win for him then.

Sadly cases like this will make a rapid increase as the little shits get to take advantage of the do gooders protecting them. Give him a kicking for smashing your car windscreen and see who the ass law nicks. We are in a generation of scum breeding scum and all getting free handouts for doing it

I can see the court’s statement when the case comes up, it is to his credit that he put his hands up and had a very troubled childhood. He has promised that he will mend his ways.
We award him £500 to help him through his difficulty’s and a two week holiday in South America where he can learn more about drug dealing.

Another one raised by the islands best parents, who were probably scroungers, single parents, criminals themselves. At this point I feel we should have some sort of parents license, not only to stem the next generation of lifelong criminals and dossers, but also for the general well-being of the children themselves, because it is not acceptable for children to end up in situations like this.

Children dealing drugs, carrying knives, and driving ilegally! What is happening to this island? I moved here to feel safe. The law needs to come down hard on this little savage. In some countries, boys like this will disappear after being caught by the police. It might sound harsh but it is effective as a deterrent.

…and female mutilation is done in some countries too, but we don’t want that either. Disappearing people?? Are you serious? If you come here, you must blend in and integrate; not bring archaic laws with you…

I moved here from London and have not brought any “archaic laws” with me to this island. You are clearly making unfounded assumptions.

Amazing how many of you think that this countries problems stem from single parents, or benefit claimants. If the current scumbag government went after the huge corporations, offshore bank accounts, wealth hoarders and suchlike for the correct amount of tax, the UK wouldn’t be in the mess it is. They starve our economy of trillions of pounds a year, but no, in your daft minds it’s all fault of people who claim a couple of hundred pounds in benefits. Morons.

100% right. Norway go half the North sea oil. They invested the money into their country. The UK on the other hand gave all that wealth to the mates of the king and government. The first step to freeing ourselves from these thief’s is to recognising that you are just a peasant that apart from any tax you may pay you have no value to them. This has been going on for centuries. We need to copy the French and physically extract what is ours back from them starting with their necks.

Sad that so many don’t compare government bailouts and subsidies to benefit handouts.

It’s got nothing to do with chasing huge corporation’s,,,lazy money grabbing low life’s with no work ethic just following their parents footsteps expecting others to pay their way.

Dave the benefit sponger.

stealing money from those who have earned it through their own efforts, just to hand it to feckless layabouts is not the answer.

starve the scroungers, make them homeless and destitute and then offer them all the support they need to get a job and be a law abiding citizen when they decide that they don’t like having no food, no home and no money

The only hope for him is to give him at least 3 years in custody to teach that this wanna be gangster that he cannot do as he likes.
The laws needs changing and updating with regard to age of responsibility for criminals. Judges should not be bound by the sentence guidelines around the age of young offenders. They should be given freedom to decide on sentences in each individual case as many juveniles are wise ( or unwise ) and knowledgeable beyond their years.

All the judge has to do is sentence him to a year in prison for every offence he is found guilty of – to run consecutively, and to be served in a Young Offender’s institution until old enough to serve the rest of the sentences in an Adult Prison.

Too much use of this multiple sentences to run concurrently has been happening for years.

Beggars belief he was bailed, all that equates to is he won’t be able to drive round to collect and deliver his drugs. Probably see him doing is dirty work on a E Bike!

Spot on, why has he been bailed so he can carry on doing exactly as he was. If he can’t be dealt with ”because of his age” he should be kept locked up until he is of age, and be given a proper sentence of someone that age. Borstals for these feral brats should never have been closed that deal with young. offenders. Again we have the tories to thank for that decision now this is what we got.

Such a shame that this child has not been taught that he has choices in life. I dread to think what his home life is like. There are generations thinking that drug dealing is the way forward. Drugs are used to numb pain. Who knows what his family have been through . Judge not. Lest ye be judged.
