BOURNEMOUTH'S "cannabis coffee shop" was raided last night as the Boscombe
site featured on prime time TV.
Seven people were arrested for drug-related offences and a quantity of
substances, believed to be cannabis, were seized.
Police officers attended the cafe in Station Approach, Boscombe, at 7.30pm
- - just as BBC2's Money Programme was highlighting the issue of cannabis
cafes, focusing on the Bournemouth venture.
The coffee shop is run by James Ward.
The 30-minute documentary followed Mr Ward to Amsterdam where he underwent
a cannabis cafe management course.
And the programme also highlighted his search for premises in Bournemouth.
Chief Inspector Nick Hazelton of Bournemouth police said at 7.30pm
yesterday the police executed a warrant under the Misuse of Drugs Act.
"Twenty-five persons were in the premises, seven were arrested for
drug-related offences," he added.
