UK: Police promise zero tolerance on cannabis

Crewe Guardian

Saturday 12 May 2012

CHESHIRE Police has vowed to take a zero tolerance approach to cannabis.

Officers say there has been a growing trend to grow the class B drug on a small and industrial level in the county, which has led to an increase in seizures of plants.

In March, 60 search warrants were executed resulting in 29 arrests, the seizure of cash and more than 1,300 plants.

Ch Insp Brian Roberts, of the Force Intelligence Bureau, said: "We will be relentless at continuing to make Cheshire an undesirable location to commit this type of offence, and we will continue to take positive action seizing, disrupting and arresting those responsible.

"Our staff will tackle this issue using traditional searching of premises methods and arresting anybody linked to the offence.

"Additionally we will look to use any other appropriate powers such as the seizure of cash and assets from those that are making a business from the production and supply of drugs."

Asst Ch Cons Ruth Purdie added: "Additionally, people should be aware that those who buy cannabis are funding organised crime groups associated with the supply of class A drugs, firearms and other criminality that impacts on our communities."
