16 armed plod bravely smash their way in after a tip-off and find a bit of silver foil and a spliff. Sgt Connor is also asking for other people to dob in somebody they don't like. I wonder if WiltsPlod are short of a few points on their end of year crimes solved figures? Are warrants issued for cautions? Armed police in drugs raid By Lucy Buckland ARMED police stormed four flats in Calne in a massive drugs raid after receiving a set of anonymous tip offs. More than 16 police officers smashed their way into the flats in The Green this morning arresting two men in their twenties. Police recovered drugs paraphernalia suggesting the use of class A drugs and a small amount of cannabis. Both men were cautioned for possession of cannabis and police have issued a warrant for a third male. It was the first raid for new Calne Sargeant Phil Connor, who replaced Mark Rees a week ago. Sgt Connor said: "We will execute search warrants on any information received and our taking a hard stance on any drug use or users in Calne. "I can assure the public any information they give us will be acted upon and we urge anyone who knows of drug use or users in the town to contact wither Wiltshire Police or Crimestoppers anonymously." http://www.gazetteandherald.co.uk/news/headlines/display.var.2407379.0.armed_police_in_drugs_raid.php -- Dr John Watson Baker Street

It would be terrible if some anonymous informer had to call Wiltshire Police and give the adress of some respected and upstanding local councillor or politician who was a staunch prohibitionist and say that the premises was being used as a cannabis grow operation and that drug taking goes on there. Would anyone really be so despicable? Svenne
