A SENIOR police officer has issued a warning to drug dealers planning to cash in on next month's Reading Festival.
Supt Steve Kirk said his officers will focus on the festival's camping areas rather than the main arena where performances take place from Friday, August 28 until Bank Holiday Monday, August 31.
Supt Kirk said: "We will focus on the tent area and will concentrate on drug dealers, but it is a neighbourhood policing approach really. We have split up the site into different areas and the officers assigned to an area get to know the festival stewards and campers and work with them."
On Friday Reading Festival supremo Melvin Benn confirmed that 3,500 weekend tickets will be made available for fans living inside the borough boundary and that it will be louder this year after licensing chiefs gave organisers permission to turn the volume up.
