Police make first arrest at Parklife as man caught with 'quantity of pills'
A man has been arrested trying to enter the Parklife site with a knife and a 'quantity of pills' after being stopped by security staff with sniffer dogs. The first arrest at this year's festival comes as the cop in charge of policing the festival warned criminals: "Don't bother coming."
"We have a really robust police and partnership community safety operation for the festival, and the arrest and seizure yesterday demonstrates the vigilance of security staff, our thorough search procedures and our commitment to keeping people safe."Make no mistake, illegal items such as weapons and drugs can have fatal consequences. Our top priority this weekend is keeping people safe, and anyone caught trying to take such items into the festival will be robustly dealt with.
