A 30-year-old man from Bembridge has been arrested on suspicion of drug driving following a traffic stop in Wootton earlier today (Tuesday).
Officers from Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary stopped a blue Peugeot 307 on Kite Hill at around 10:25 this morning.
At the scene, the driver a 30-year-old man from Bembridge, was arrested on suspicion of drug driving as well as driving whilst disqualified and driving whilst uninsured.
He has been released on initial police bail while inquiries continue.
Plenty of dealers passing packages in Steyne Park car park, often a cyclist collecting from a car driver.
Others pass packages whilst waking through Lane End graveyard.
So not surprised it is from Bembridge.
The harbour lands more than dead fish.
County Lines comes to Bembridge shock!
Shocking, isn’t it. I’ve seen deals go on down Perowne Way, Carisbrooke Car Park (opposite the Co-op) and the car park on Shanklin seafront by the mini golf to name but a few. It’s so open, so blatant. One only has to walk or even drive around for a very short amount of time before smelling cannabis. I’m not wholly against some form of de-criminalisation for cannabis – but wouldn’t want island addicts walking around openly smoking it (as they do already, of course).
