    Number Of Glastonbury Drug Arrests


    Police have revealed that they have already arrested thirty-four people for drug offences relating to this year’s Glastonbury festival.

    Officers have been targeting people over a two day period travelling from Paddington station in London to the Worthy Farm festival site.

    Of the people arrested, four had been arrested with intent to supply as police aim to keep this year’s Glastonbury festival drug free.

    Using sniffer dogs on the platform, police were stopping anyone whose luggage raised suspicion.

    The 2005 Glastonbury festival saw 183 drugs arrests which was 76 more than the previous year.

    • No matter how hard the police try, they will not be able to make it a complete drug free festival. I am not criticisizing them, in fact i admire their efforts, but i think they should do that at the festival itself, where its more likely for them to get some results.
