Staff Writer

Various drugs seized

A total of 52 people were arrested at the Future Music Festival in Melbourne yesterday according to a Victorian police report.

A sniffer dog operation was carried out at the Flemington Racecourse venue and police seized drugs including ecstasy, amphetamine, cocaine and cannabis.

46 off those arrested were given diversions while six cannabis cautions were handed out.

Earlier in the week a Queensland Police operation resulted in the confiscation of $500,000 worth of ecstasy believed to be bound for Future Music Festival Brisbane.
