Title: Drug arrests at Bristol Temple Meads railway station - Friday 25 May 2012 Post by: Chris from Nailsea on May 26, 2012, 21:17:56 From the BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-18218360):
Quote Twelve people have been arrested at Bristol's Temple Meads railway station in an operation to stop illegal drugs passing through into the city. Police offers carried out a search between 20:00 BST and 22:00 BST on Friday. A 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession of cannabis resin with intent to supply. Among others arrested were six people who were cautioned for possession of class B cannabis.

Still ended up in jail, though. Fool!

He got busted at Digbeth Coach Station in Birmingham by a West Midlands Police spaniel.... well, it was the spaniel's handler that did the arrest!

Which has NOTHING to do with trains, Although a Class 156 and a Loco Hauled Service do feature in the film ;) This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
