On Saturday, 9 September, officers on patrol in West Bay observed a man who was wanted in relation to burglary incidents in George Town. Officers approached the man and informed him he was under arrest, when he became aggressive and attempted to escape from the officers, causing minor injury to one of the officers. He was arrested on suspicion of burglary and for resisting arrest and assaulting police. A search of his person was conducted and approximately two and a half pounds of suspected ganja was recovered. He was further arrested on suspicion of possession and consumption of ganja and possession of ganja with intent to supply.
