UK: Sussex Police crack down on drug crime
Eastbourne Herald
Tuesday 03 Oct 2006 POLICE have warned that cannabis production will not be tolerated and are supporting a nationwide crackdown on offenders. The warning comes after police revealed 20 houses across Sussex have been raided for producing cannabis, many of which included hydroponics. One of the premises using hydroponics, a way of growing the plants using water power, was found in a flat in Seaford where 17 cannabis plants were found. DCI Glenn Jones, Sussex Police major crime and drug unit, said, "Cannabis production is rightly regarded by the courts as a serious offence. "People involved in cannabis production on a commercial scale have the potential to make a lot of profit which is often used to fund other forms of serious criminality. "This is why Sussex Police is supporting the national Operation Keymer. We are not prepared to discuss specific operations which have yet to take place. "However, Sussex Police will actively target any commercial production of cannabis and seek to use the powers of the proceeds of crime act to confiscate any ill-gotten gains. http://www.eastbournetoday.co.uk/
