Class A and B drugs uncovered at Torquay station
A drug sniffer dog uncovered multiple stashes of Class A and B drugs at Torquay train station.
Devon & Cornwall Police recently worked alongside British Transport Police in a bid to target individuals using rail networks to transport drugs.
The operation involved a mixture of high visibility and plain clothes police officers deployed to the train station. Officers were joined by passive drugs dog ‘Polly’, who was placed at key entrances and exits of the station to sniff out people carrying drugs.
Chief Inspector Miranda Pusey said:“This proactive work forms part of our ongoing efforts to pursue individuals involved in the movement of drugs and to deter criminals from bringing drugs into our towns.”
During the operation, officers conducted a number of stop searches following positive indications from Polly. This resulted in the seizure of Class A and B drugs, including six grams of MDMA (Ecstasy), five grams of cannabis, one gram of ketamine. Drugs paraphernalia was also seized. Investigations are currently ongoing.
