LOCAL CANNABIS CULTIVATION is on the increase and police are appealing to members of the public to use the channels available to make anonymous reports.

Police spokesman, acting inspector Roland Cobbler, said more than 30 365plants were seized across three districts. These were burnt today along with 656 pounds of cannabis and 52 pounds of cocaine.

He said there was evidence children as young as seven were using illegal drugs and this would have a long-term negative effect on society.

Members of the public can call Police Emergency at telephone number ‘211’, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIPS (8477) or the nearest police station. (BN)
