I just love dumb crook news, or just abnormally strange news stories! I also love to e-mail them to my friends with my own commentary. I have decided, since I do love this so much, I would dedicate a day to it on my blog.
I now present to you the first ever "Wacky Wednesday!"
(I am still working on a permanent picture, but for now, the frog will have to do)
The Drug Cover(ed) Letter
A nightclub owner who wrote a letter to police denying that drug use was rife in her club, has lost her license, after cops found that the LETTER ITSELF was covered in cocaine.
Pauline Terry wrote the letter in January, denying that Club Compass in Ramsgate, Kent was a haven for drug taking. A police raid on the venue had found 'huge' traces of various Class A drugs in the bar and toilets, including cocaine, heroin and ecstasy.
A police source said: “It does us a lot of favors when the licensee, in defending her nightclub on drug allegations, sends in a letter covered in cocaine.”
Police licensing officer Nigel Cruttenden said: “When we did a swab in the toilets we found traces of cocaine, heroin and ecstasy at the highest level ever recorded in Thanet. A level of 4 is sufficient for magistrates to order a ‘crack house closure’ and we found 8.3.”
And about Terry's letter, he added: “When I did a swab I found a reading of 1.1 for cocaine INSIDE the envelope.” Terry - who was fined £1,000 for a number of license breaches last month - failed to turn up for the licensing hearing last week, at which Thanet council revoked her license. Police are recommending that the club be closed permanently.
