At around 1800, a Spanish man, 39, was arrested on suspicion of Riding an E-Scooter Whilst under the Influence of Drugs. Response Team officers initially spotted the man riding the E-Scooter along Winston Churchill Avenue without a helmet. On stopping him, officers noticed that he was constantly snorting, sniffing, unable to keep still and was having muscle spasms. Officers suspected he was under the influence of drugs and after a road side drugs test, he gave a positive reading for cocaine and was arrested and taken to New Mole House.

At around 0000, a local man, 36, was arrested for Disorderly Conduct Whilst Intoxicated. Officers were patrolling Ocean Village when they noticed the man shouting profanities and swinging his arms in a violent manner towards people in the area. On speaking to the man, he became argumentative and violent. He was arrested and taken to New Mole House.

At around 0037, a local man, 46, was arrested on suspicion of Sexual Assault, Resisting/Obstructing Police and an outstanding arrest warrant. His arrest came after Response Team officers spotted him on Prince Edwards Road, and, knowing he was a suspect from a sexual assault reported to police several days earlier, got out of their vehicle and made their way towards him. On spotting the officers he ran off – but was caught a short distance later following a short foot chase. Once in New Mole House Police Station, he was further arrested on suspicion of possession of Class A Drugs, which were found within the suspect’s residence. An investigation is ongoing.
