200 PEOPLE ISSUED DRUG OFFENCES AT BLUESFEST

Police say they were pleased with the behaviour of revellers at the Byron Bay Bluesfest, despite taking action against 200 people for drug offences.
80,000 revellers attended the five day event, with 60,000 camping on site.
Around 160 cannabis cautions were issued as well as 39 court attendance notices for other drug related offences.
Police also seized cannabis, methylamphetamine, MDMA, cocaine and LSD.
Inspector Gary Cowan, from Tweed/Byron Local Area Command, said “The fact we found so many festival-goers in possession of drugs is disappointing, though overall we were pleased with the lack of anti-social behaviour.”
