Teenager arrested on drug charges A TEENAGER was arrested for allegedly trafficking LSD at Frankston Train Station earlier this month. Victoria Police dedicated more resources to patrolling the station on 18 August. That day they arrested the 17-year-old, who they say will be charged with allegedly trafficking LSD, possessing proceeds of crime, and possessing a drug of dependence. That day police also arrested a 14-year-old boy for alleged criminal damage and marking graffiti. A 20-year-old Narre Warren man was arrested on an outstanding warrant. With assistance from a drug detection dog, police issued five caution notices for possessing cannabis. Three penalty notices were handed out for offences including riding outside a train, possessing open alcohol, and possessing a controlled weapon. A pocket knife was seized. Victoria Police Transit South acting sergeant
David Healy said the operation was a success. “While transit police and PSOs are out and about every day, these targeted operations help us detect and deter offending across the network. Anti-social behaviour – including carrying drugs, weapons and graffiti – will not be tolerated,” he said. “We’ll continue to conduct these operations at public transport hubs across Melbourne’s south to deter this type of behaviour and ensure commuters not only are safe, but feel safe. If you have nothing to hide, then you won’t mind engaging with our detection dogs.”
