UK: Road ban for four facing café charges
The Argus, Worthing Thursday 06 Nov 2008 Magistrates have imposed strict bail conditions on the four, including banning them from entering the road where the café is located. None of the group is allowed to speak to another, except under certain conditions. Mike Allday, 43, Paul Bradley, 32, Wendy Edwards, 39, and Lee Russell, 39, are all accused of supplying cannabis and had the conditions imposed on them at Worthing Magistrates’ Court. Edwards, of Haybourn Road, Worthing, and Russell, of Ethelwulf Road, Worthing, also face charges relating to handling cash said to have been earned from selling the class C drug. The case was adjourned and will be heard at Chichester Crown Court on February 19. The charges relate to incidents inside the heavily fortified cannabis café in Freshbrook Road, Lancing, open since January 2007. All four were arrested during a series of raids in Lancing and Worthing on October 22 following a long-running police campaign to close the venue. Officers have raided it on seven occasions, once using a tractor to tear down a wall. They were thwarted on previous raids by the fortifications and thick steel doors at the café. Magistrates had planned to allow Allday to enter Freshbrook Road but ban him from going within 200 metres of the café so he could look after his niece. But Allday asked that he also be banned from the road completely. The court allowed Bradley and Russell, who both work at the Pier nightclub in Worthing, to speak to each other during working hours. The court was told officers had asked for the bail conditions to allow them to “police” the venue. A fifth person who was arrested during the October raids remains on police bail. http://www.theargus.co.uk _________________ http://astore.amazon.co.uk/webbooks05 http://www.ccguide.org.uk/
