For more information see www.fhbw.org.uk Local Police news Following information received from members of the community, we executed a warrant under the Misuse of Drugs Act at an address in Dudeney Lodge, Hollingdean on 4th May. The occupant was arrested for possession with intent to supply after officers discovered almost 1 kg of herbal cannabis in the flat. This would have a street value in the region of £9000. The male has now been bailed pending further enquiries. Following this and a further positive search at the address in February 2012, the council are looking to evict the tenant. We are very grateful to the local community and would urge anyone with similar suspicions about the supply of drugs or any other crime to contact us. We always treat information in the strictest of confidence. Regards, Sgt Chris Lane CLO62 07771 80690 [email protected] Hollingdeannews …community activities Hollingdean Skatepark takes shape!
