Two 12-Year-Old Otto’s Comprehensive Students Caught with Cannabis at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium
Police are investigating an incident involving two students who were reportedly found with a small quantity of cannabis at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium.
According to a police report, officers on duty at the venue around noon on October 20 discovered 6.4 grams of plant material resembling the controlled drug cannabis in the possession of two 12-year-old students from the Ottos Comprehensive School.
Both children were interviewed in the presence of their parents and guardians, and, according to police, provided “useful information” to assist in the ongoing investigation.
They were subsequently released into the custody of their guardians after being “severely warned.”
The report added that the matter has been brought to the attention of the Acting Assistant Commissioner of Police, who was duly informed of the incident.

Do you realize the police really had no authority to interfere with the children? The law needs to include age restrictions, place restrictions meaning places you can’t have it in your possession at all and places you are allowed to smoke it.
Our law permits every man Jack to walk in public with a spliff in his mouth.
Let’s revisit the law and save our children
