Bag with drugs is thrown from nightclub as policemen enter; Hatton man arrested on suspicion

A patron of a nightclub in St. John’s was taken into custody to assist
the Police with investigations, after someone attempted to discard a
quantity of marijuana by throwing it from the club.
 
Based on information the Police had received, a sergeant and a
corporal went on duty at Jam Dung Nightclub, located on Nevis
Street, at about 1:30 a.m. on March 10.
 
Reportedly, as the senior officer was entering the building, a black
shopping bag was thrown from the nightclub, landing at the back of
a motor pickup parked on the street.

The officers searched the bag and found several transparent plastic
bags with what appeared to be compressed cannabis, along with a
powdery substance suspected to be cocaine and crack cocaine. 
 
Subsequently, a search was carried out in the area and a Hatton man
was arrested on suspicion of possession of controlled drugs.
 
The bag with the drugs and the suspect were taken to the Criminal
Investigation Department (CID) pending further investigation.
