Police in West Sussex fear a heavily fortified cannabis cafe raided 12 days ago by officers with a tractor is about to reopen with stronger barricades. Several people have been arrested at the industrial unit in Freshbrook Road, Lancing, but police say they have no powers to close the premises down. Insp James Asser said officers had to gather evidence to prove in court it was being used for smoking cannabis. He said new reinforcements included razor wire and electric currents.
Wall pulled down
"The information and intelligence we have indicates it will be opened again," he said. "We have raided the premises twice - once in July and once in October and on both occasions we have started proceedings with the Crown Prosecution Service. We haven't yet got a result from that."
He said the building had extensive air locking systems, steel reinforced doors and reinforced windows. "Now a notice at the entrance states hidden razor wire is present and strong electric currents as well," he said. During the last raid, a wall was pulled down and a window removed. Several people have been arrested on suspicion of money laundering and drug offences and are on police bail pending further inquiries. Cannabis and cash has also been seized. Mr Asser said police had to prove in court that the offence of allowing a premises to be used for smoking cannabis was being committed. "We don't have the power to close premises down until we can prove it beyond reasonable doubt," he said. "That is the whole purpose of this game - to gather the evidence so we can put that before a court."
That's quite awesome tbh, building a fortress so the police can't get in to gather evidence :thup: Druggies **** me off, but well played on this one sirs!

So, apparently there's a "legal" cannabis fortress (literally a fortress) in Sussex. Post #2
After 15 years of heavy durp smurking, I decided to give up in June. So I did. Quite impressed tbh.
Oh, and these Sussex type people are fools. What you need is the ground floor of a tower block, knock it all through and armour the **** out of it. The people living above might be miffed at your drug dealing, but not half so miffed as they'll be if the police try pulling your walls down.
