Class A drugs are those considered to be the most harmful.
Under the Misuse of Drugs Act it is an offence to:
- possess a controlled substance
- possess a controlled substance with the intent to supply
- unlawfully supply a controlled drug (even when there’s no charge made for the drug)
- allow premises you occupy or manage to be used for the purpose of drug taking

"If you’re concerned about drug use or dealing in your area, no matter how small, we want to know.
"To report drug activity please call 101 or by calling Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or reporting online."
