Police disappointed after 400 people found with drugs at annual music festival – Byron Bay

Police have been left disappointed with crowd behaviour following a four-day music festival held in Byron Bay last week.

The Splendour in the Grass Music Festival was held at Belongil Fields in Byron Bay between Thursday 26 July and Sunday 29 July 2012, attracting a crowd of approximately 20,000 people.

During the festival there was a strong police contingent including general duties officers, the Mounted Unit, Dog Unit, Public Order & Riot Squad, Operation Support Group and officers from the Alcohol and Licensing Enforcement Command.

Police were also assisted by the Office of Liquor, Gaming and Racing and targeted alcohol, drugs and anti-social behaviour offences.

Officers conducted 730 person searches and 30 vehicle searches whilst also issuing 74 move-on directions.

Fatal crash – near Lismore

Police are investigating a fatal crash on the state’s Far North Coast earlier today.

About 11.40am (Friday 27 July 2012), a woman in her 30s was travelling along Bangalow Road, Clunes, north of Lismore.

Her vehicle collided with a Nissan X-Trail travelling in the opposite direction, just south of the Stewarts Road intersection.

Police and other emergency services were called, however, the woman died at the scene.

The two men in the Nissan were conveyed to Lismore Base Hospital with non life-threatening injuries.

Police attached to Tweed/Byron Local Command are now preparing a report for the Coroner.
