Drug detections made on 'almost daily basis' in Orkney

Drug detections are being made on “a regular daily basis” by the Orkney Drugs Dog, according to a Police Scotland inspector.

Inspector David Hall of Police Scotland said: “There has been a significant rise in the number of drug interceptions from the drugs dog.”

A report, presented to a meeting of the Police and Fire sub-committee on Thursday, February 25, showed that 142 detections were made by the dog during 2020/21.

Inspector Hall said this was a very positive figure.

He said: “I think what we’ve seen with COVID is people having to rely on the mail to get things in. There isn’t the free-flow of traffic that we’ve seen coming off and on Orkney over the years.

“It’s pretty much on a regular daily basis that the dog handler is taking parcels out of the Royal Mail system.”

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Not surprised as we find about 3 a day and we aren't looking for it - just the smell is so strong :)
