Almost 40 drug arrests at music event POLICE have made 36 drug arrests at an electronic music event in Melbourne. Drugs including ecstasy, amphetamines, cocaine, cannabis, GHB and MDMA were seized at the Above & Beyond music event at Hisense Area on Saturday night. Thirty-two of the arrests were referred to a drug diversion program, one received a cannabis caution, one received a summons and two were charged and bailed. Senior Sergeant Mark Pilkington said police were concerned a large number of people continue to attend such events while possessing drugs, despite warnings. These drugs are extremely dangerous. They are manufactured by criminals and therefore people have no idea what they are taking or the real risks involved," he said in a statement. Sen Sgt Pilkington said police would continue a presence at these events to try and minimise risk to those using illicit drugs.
