Man arrested in Glastonbury after ignoring police order and carrying drugs

A man has been arrested in Glastonbury after breaching a police dispersal order and being found with Class B drugs.
The arrest comes after officers responded to reports of antisocial behaviour on Glastonbury High Street and at the Market Cross on Friday night (14 June).
Four individuals were issued 48-hour dispersal notices under Section 35 of the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014. One person was arrested at the scene for a public order offence.
Neighbourhood officers confirmed that one of the individuals returned to the area the following day in breach of the order. He was arrested and taken into custody after drugs were found in his possession.
A police spokesperson said: "This type of behaviour will not be tolerated. We remain committed to ensuring Glastonbury is a safe and respectful environment for residents, businesses and visitors."
The man is currently being dealt with for the breach and possession of drugs.
Police are urging anyone who witnesses antisocial behaviour to report it via 101 or online at the Avon and Somerset Police website.
