3 men have been arrested on suspicion of drugs offences following a pursuit which came to an end on a country lane in Wroxall late last night (Wednesday).
As first reported by Island Echo, the National Police Air Service helicopter from Bournemouth was called in to assist in searching for 3 individuals after they fled from a vehicle. The car, now revealed to be a Mitsubishi, was dumped at the bottom of Middle Barn Lane – a dead-end track off Manor Road.
Hampshire Constabulary have confirmed to Island Echo that a Police car was involved in a collision with the suspect vehicle after it failed to stop for officers. The crash took place on Middle Barn Lane.
Last night’s extensive efforts paid off with 3 males arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the production of a class B drug. A 25-year-old man, a 19-year-old man and a second 25-year-old man remain in custody at this time.
The helicopter was stood down from the search at around 00:30.
With all thx anti-Ryde posts regarding criminal activity on this site, there’s been quite a few incidents in other parts of the island the past few weeks.
all this time and money to arrest 3 for class b drugs – legalise it!
So the car dumped and likely ruined then was one of the threes? Or was it stolen and trashed.
Great idea, yeah legalise it and watch the mess left behind in its wake.
Well all they have to do I pull drivers over on a Saturday and they will get lots of people Drug Driving,better than wasting all that money on chopper ect for few plans, Get it right cops!!!
The so called drugs war is lost, it can’t be beaten, dealers, drug gangs are costing lives.
It’s time to put the dealers and drug gangs out of business, we need to give has much help as possible to those who are addicted to come off drugs, however, those that refuse help should have their drugs for free and when they eventually die, it will mean innocent members of the public won’t be dragged into the drugs world by having our homes ransacked in-order too feed their addiction.
It’s not a pleasant solution, but it’s not fare innocent members of the public are dragged into this murky world of drugs….
Some will say leigleis drugs, but it’s not going to put the dealers or drug gangs out of business…
Clare, as usual, I have the answer.
Drugs in the UK are ‘legal to buy’ BUT illegal to use.
The price drops and such could be bought from state shops to ensure genuine products are sold.
But as soon as you ‘use’ such, it becomes a serious offence.
Thus any ‘wise’ user would take it home, and whilst even ‘using’ such there would still be illegal, they would know less likely to be ‘caught’.
That way it would not give a ‘green light’ to the public or young that drugs are legal and therefore ‘acceptable or safe’.
The price and CRIME would drop.
Those now growing in lofts, cellars, sheds, barn outhouses, and even in the garage as teacher does, would not be making tax free income whilst still claiming tax credits. and more importantly all would not be risking fire from heat lamps or by doctoring the mains to ‘hide’ their now illegal activities.
And those doing drugs, would still be done IF tested positive in driving or at work, or if checked.
Any revenue created by HMG could be used for drug treatment for the wasters in society.
Any other of life’s probs you need sorting, just ask.
people like to experiment and get high. No amount of legislation, threats of punishment or warnings is going to make the slightest bit of difference to anyone wishing to take any substance, legal or not.
Substances for getting high have been in use for thousands of years.
The earliest record of opium being used is over 5000 years ago in egypt – they called it “the joy plant” They even gave it to calm crying children.
13 female cannabis plants were unearthed from a tomb in china which dates back over 2700 years ago.
psilocybin or “magic mushrooms” as we know them, are seen on murals dating back over 11,000 years ago in north africa.
“The war on drugs” – is a pointless waste of time and only created to justify attacking the producers of substances. They do not pay tax on their earnings, so governments are upset.
Drugs were here before we were and will continue to be desirable for many.
What about the legal drug addictions, such as valium, opiods etc – not even commented on these prescription addictions.
I expect they all came from Ryde
