Police on the Isle of Wight discovered a number of ecstasy pills when they stopped a car in Sandown yesterday evening (Tuesday).
Officers instructed an Audi Q3 to pull over on The Broadway, Sandown at 19:00.
A specialist drugs search dog was brought in to give the vehicle the once over, resulting in 2 suspected ecstasy pills being seized.
The driver, a man in his 50s, will be interviewed under caution at a later date.
People still do E?? How very 90s
It would be an Audi again wouldn’t it.
You know that..
You are unbelievable
hello ditzy – lol
– It sounds like this came from a random check on people’s movements during lockdown, so it won’t have much effect on drug crime on the island..
To safeguard the welfare of the young and reduce crime emanating from the need to fund a drug habit/addiction, we need to support the Police as much as possible in catching the dealers and pushers foremost.
Those who are aware of how and when drugs are delivered to users hold the key to turning the tide on this scourge on our society, which subjects us all to the consequences..
So please, if you do have any information, do inform those who are entrusted with oversight and help guide them to apprehend those who profit from other’s misery.
We would all applaud you, if you have the courage and foresight to do that…
Regards.
Well said Stephen63. Those who turn a blind eye are as bad as the dealers. Dob them in. They are a scourge on society. They cost us all dearly with the havoc they wreak.
The more info the Police get the more they can turn the tide on this vile crime. The victims are those they supply.
Well said.
That’s absolute rubbish, 2 ecstasy pills most likely for personal use, man in his 50s good on him, probably was going to have a good Friday Saturday night in his house during lockdown. Ecstasy has been a wanted drug for years now it’s supply for demand, take as many drug dealers of the streets at you want you’ll never solve the problem until it’s legalised and controlled properly as it should! Now go back to your sad little life crying over petty crime that your own government create, narrow minded loser.
I hear that a teacher in Haylands grows in his garage. Common knowledge amongst older children, but I don’t know where he lives nor his name. Likely someone does so perhaps they could report this with the relevant information, as if true it is disgusting that someone in the trust of children could do such a thing.
Who did you hear that from?
Nah if I was really trying to wind people up I’d of played the “Sandown” card but I don’t believe all people in Sandown are bad unlike a lot of people on here
2 tablets? Hardly a dealer.
Whilst in principle, I would agree with what you say, the police have always seemed to avoid the smaller dealers, in the hope of finding the larger, wholesale dealers.
Some of these small and large dealers are also very clever and seem to have safe houses/areas where they store their main bulk.
So if you do report them, you end up looking rather stupid, as not a lot is found, if anything, on their premises. Motor vehicle tracking would probably be more efficient if their were more police to police it.
Well done to the police makes me proud to be an Islander.
We all know that family from shanklin and sandown, who supply and deal.
What family is that, just asking for s friend who is new to the Island
Well it just takes one concerned citizen to help remove the supply of drugs from our streets. . . 101. . .
-Please do the right thing (even anonymously).
If we can just break the cycle of apathy towards druggery in our society, we will all be so much the better for it..
CCTV gave him away.
2 pills christ that’s going to disrupt the supply island wide, FFS,
They must be bored ! Two cars and a dog vehicle probably four or ffivee officers all for them too find a microscopic amount of drugs what awaste of time and money from the tax payers
Good for them it stopped him feeding his habit next time he might lead them to the disgusting supplier he probably used his furlough money to pay for them !!!
So he had a job and he’s got a drug habit……according to you. No wonder people say “false news”, you are the sort of person that starts it…social media at its worst.
This is an outrage knowing that there those among us islanders who see the consumption of such pills acceptable on such grandiose scale. Criminals like this must be made an example of and FEEL THE FULL FORCE OF LAW. This is a slippery slope, did we not learn from the 90’s the horrors of such novel substances from the dimesmeric andersonphosphate (CAKE) epidemic? Let me guess the driver was probably Czech guy? This is all the more reason we should have left the EU.
