56 people were arrested on suspicion of drugs supply offences at Leeds fest this year
Joshua Hague, 20, and Wade Taylor, 18, were both sentenced to 45 months in a young offenders institution after they were caught selling drugs at Leeds Festival this year. The pair were the last of six suspects who were caught at the event in August - they have been remanded in prison since their arrests in the summer.
On Thursday, August 24, they were seen among a large group within the campsite and attempted to run off when approached by security and police. They were detained nearby and found in possession of controlled drugs. Cash was also recovered, and further drugs were found in their tents. On October 27, Corin Armitage, of New Street, Great Houghton, Barnsley, and Cody Harper, aged 18, of William Street, Barnsley, were jailed at Leeds Crown Court after being caught with large amounts of cocaine, MDMA and ketamine at the festival site on August 23. The drugs had an estimated street value of £8,910.
Both admitted two counts of possession of Class A drugs with intent to supply and possession of criminal property. The drugs operation was led by specialist detectives from Leeds District’s Programme Precision team, which targets serious and organised crime, and saw plain-clothes officer utilising a range of tactics.
“We have very sadly seen the tragic consequences that can result from young people taking drugs, and this year we had an increased focus on drugs offences, working closely alongside Festival Republic to support their safety and security operation at the festival site.
