A freedom of information request has revealed arrests at Glastonbury Festival in 2015 were dramatically down, both in terms of drugs arrests and crime in general.
Perhaps the starkest figure revealed by The Bristol Posts’ request surrounding drug seizure figures shows that 1,639grams of cannabis bush were confiscated compared to 7,600grams in 2010. While 80 doses of LSD were confiscated by police in 2010, none at all were found in 2015. Ecstasy, in contrast, saw a huge rise, from 40 tablets back in 2010 to 880 last year.
