Melbourne, October 03: Police have arrested over 40 people for drug-related offences at a Melbourne dance music festival
Officers with drug sniffer dogs pulled festival-goers out of the line up to enter the sold-out Parklife festival in Birrarung Marr today.
All of the offenders received cautions for carrying small amounts of drugs.
Acting Senior Sergeant Don Brown said the police activity wasn’t meant to ruin anyone’s day but make sure everyone was safe at an event with 17,000 people attending.
Fifty-three people were caught with drugs at last year’s Parklife festival.
