No Further Action Possession Intent Supply Class A Drugs Wembley Police Station 2024

No further action was taken on allegations of possession with intent to supply Class B drugs at Wembley Police Station in July 2024.

The allegation against our client was that he was a passenger in a vehicle which was stopped and searched by police. Upon search of the vehicle, multiple snap bags of cannabis were found.

To be found guilty of possession with intent to supply under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, the police must be able to prove the following:

1. You were in possession 
2. The substance found in your possession was controlled
3. You intended to supply the drugs to another.
4.  You do not need to have gone through with supply, only the intention to supply has to be proven

There are defences available to possession with intent to supply. Defences can include a lack of knowledge namely; you were not aware that you were in possession of a controlled drug. In addition, a defence is that you were merely in possession of the controlled drug for personal use only. This means that you are denying any intention to supply the drug.  

When attending Wembley Police Station, we advised our client on the evidence and their account. Our client stated that he was only a passenger in the vehicle, and he was unaware of the drugs found in the car. He also denied possession of drugs and having any intent to supply. We advised our client to answer all questions put forward by the police to put forward his defence. As the client raised a credible defence, the police decided to take ‘no further action’ on the allegation and prevent the matter from going to court.
