A SPECIAL police squad has seen more than £350,000 in hard drugs, illegal weapons and drug dealers’ assets wiped from the town’s streets.

Swindon police’s Drug Enforcement Team has been on the frontline in the fight against illegal drugs in the town since it was formed in August 2009.

In just under two years the five-strong team has executed more than 75 warrants and arrested more than 150 people.

Seizures of Class A drugs, such as crack cocaine and heroin, have totalled a combined value of more than £350,000, while weapons including a machete, baseball bats and a one million-volt stun gun have all been confiscated in this year alone.

Sergeant Scott Hargreave, of the drugs squad, said drugs would always be an issue but much of the success was as a result of strong links with the community.

Sgt Hargreave said the courts were the key in supporting the team’s work.

He said: “One of the good things is how seriously the courts are still taking it. They take a serious stance and that really supports us.”

Why not lace the seized drugs with cyanide, ricin, or anthrax and then sell it back on the streets, the money raised being used to help cover the cost of cleaning up the result. If the junkies knew they had a 50/50 chance of dying a horrible death, they might not be so inclined to smoke, sniff or shoot themselves full of the muck (and subsequently less inclined to commit the crimes associated with drug abuse). No demand, no supply. And no sympathy from me either, in case you hadn't guessed.

Well thats pretty Sick right there...........
I hope something falls out of the sky onto them

Not only that lacing with anthrax would just infect non drug users too! That person needs a brain..
 
It's not even a new idea...

Frustrated that people continued to consume so much alcohol even after it was banned, federal officials had decided to try a different kind of enforcement. They ordered the poisoning of industrial alcohols manufactured in the United States, products regularly stolen by bootleggers and resold as drinkable spirits. The idea was to scare people into giving up illicit drinking. Instead, by the time Prohibition ended in 1933, the federal poisoning program, by some estimates, had killed at least 10,000 people.

By mid-1927, the new denaturing formulas included some notable poisons—kerosene and brucine (a plant alkaloid closely related to strychnine), gasoline, benzene, cadmium, iodine, zinc, mercury salts, nicotine, ether, formaldehyde, chloroform, camphor, carbolic acid, quinine, and acetone. The Treasury Department also demanded more methyl alcohol be added—up to 10 percent of total product. It was the last that proved most deadly.

I think that it would be good karma for the asshole who replyed about adding all those poisons to drugs and reselling them to the public(illegal anyway) and what if his kids, friends,or relatives were so called "junkies" who happend to get maybe a little weed laced with posion and died? Maybe someone should spike some of the booze he likely drinks and some cigarettes he might smoke, letting "him" know that the two deadliest legal substances by far might kill him even quicker? Does this person have any idea of reality and drug use and all that?? I doubt it, and if he drinks too much whiskey or something tonight and chokes and dies from inhaling his own vomit , then he gets no sympathy from me...fucking Idiot!!
 
^ Hehe yeah man that guy was certainly a noodle, he seems like the type of person that would suggest nuking the entire Middle East to get rid of terrorists. That type of mentality is very prevelant in the area I live in and it drives me nuts.
 
^Haha my mom's boyfriend is a contract worker in Afghanistan and he was here visiting recently and said that same thing. My mouth just dropped open. He also said that they should start testing all their citizens for gunshot residue and executing those who test positive. We had a bit of a fight after that.
 
Let's just find out where the guy lives and go and kill him. I am insulted by his comments.
 
He might be an idiot, doesn't mean you have to kill him.

Maybe he was planning to have some tea and crisps whilst peacefully talking about his comment. =D

But seriously, that is appalling comment and as brutal and disgusting as it may sound, I'd love to see that plan backfire on him.
