All the drugs punters tried to sneak into popular Devon club

Cops in North Devon have taken to social media to show the vast quantity of drugs that they have seized from revellers. And they have issued a warning to nightclub goers that it’s not worth the risk to try and take drugs into the club.

Door staff at Fever Nightclub in Barnstaple have been stopping and searching people looking for a good time over recent months. Anyone found with drugs on them has had their gear seized.

North and West Devon Police tweeted: “Licensing Officer Paul Butler has just shown me all of this (mainly Class A drugs) seized by door staff from people entering Fever Nightclub, Barnstaple over the last few months. Well done to the door staff. You may be searched and you may be prosecuted. Not worth the risk.”

An image with the tweet shows more than 50 separate seizures of drugs that cops and door staff have made.

Police and Crime Commissioner Alison Hernandez recently said: “Talking about recreational drugs makes it sound like it’s fun, and you can do it, and it’s legal, but it’s not. There’s an awful lot of suffering going into you having that giggle.

“I am also making a plea to university students. Drugs use is still rife in young people’s lives. They think it’s fun. They think it’s a time to take risks. They think they are going to have a laugh. But they need to start making these ethical decisions they think they are making about the environment about people as well.”
