12 HELD OVER UK CANNABIS CAFE HAUL

Twelve people have been arrested after officers seized cannabis during a
raid on a Dutch-style coffee house in Greater Manchester.

Police also uncovered cash following the search of The Dutch Experience
Cafe, in Stockport, Greater Manchester.

Two of the 12 taken into police custody have been arrested on suspicion of
being involved in the management of a premises contrary to the mis-use of
drugs legislation.

Another was arrested for possessing cannabis with the intent to supply and
the remaining nine for possessing a controlled drug.

Superintendent Richard Crawshaw, of Greater Manchester police, said: "It
would be unwise for anyone to make the assumption that flagrant defiance of
the law has or ever will be tolerated by the police."
