BREAKING NEWS: Police raid Lancing cannabis cafe for sixth time

Officers sealed off Freshbrook Road and carried out a search of the premises.

Police used a disc cutter to try and get through the front door and smashed a window of the premises, which has protective tyres, a CCTV system and steel doors, before someone opened the door from the inside.

A spokesperson for the cafe said police had not found anything.

Adur police Chief Inspector Lawrence Hobbs said: "This is the sixth time we have raided these premises and we will continue to execute search warrants all the time the owners flout the law.

"We have received a number of complaints from residents in the area that incidents of anti-social behaviour have been on the increase associated with these premises and I say to them that we remain committed to disrupting the sale of drugs and working with Adur District Council to getting the place shut down.

"These things take time and I ask them to bear with us while we try to gather evidence from these raids. It is too early to tell how many people will be arrested or how mant drugs have been found at this raid."
