It wasn’t rain dampening Melbourne for once. It turns out the city has outdone Sydneys Stereosonic leg when it came to arrests with 139 people being busted on various charges at this years two day edition of the festival.
The stats available at the moment indicate 64 were arrested on Saturday and 75 on Sunday. The menu of drugs sniffed out by the labradors included Ecstasy, amphetamines, cocaine, and GHB with Sunday showing 68 bros and 7 brozettes bumbags being nabbed pre-melbz shuffle.
Detective Senior Sergeant Mark Pilkington said the results were disappointing as he strongly disapproved people risking their lives by taking drugs. Let’s not forget 1 in every 2 people tested on their way out from Strawberry Fields had something in their system!
Melbourne Stereosonic is unofficially in the lead for the ‘bogan festival of the year’ having had a crowd member successfully hit The Bloody Beetroots with a glass bottle directly in the face that could have potentially killed him.
Overall festival goers did enjoy themselves and were privvy to almost 100 international acts.
