“At New Mole House Police Station, the man damaged police property and was further arrested on suspicion of Disorderly Conduct in a Police Station and Destroying or Damaging Property.”

“In relation to the same incident, a local woman, 38, was arrested for five outstanding warrants of arrest and on suspicion of two counts of Possession of a Prohibited Import, Possession of a Controlled Class B Drug, Possession of a Controlled Class C Drug, Possession with Intent to Supply a Controlled Class B Drug, Possession with Intent to Supply a Controlled Class C Drug and three counts of Possession of Ammunition without a Certificate.”
