Drug charge follows police station trespass

A 32-year-old Umina man was arrested for shoplifting and possessing drugs, after being found trespassing at Woy Woy police station.

Police found the man on Wednesday, August 14 in the rear compound area of Woy Woy Police Station where he was observed looking into police vehicles and stumbling around.

He was placed under arrest and questioned about trespassing on police property.

A check of the compound located a black wallet and a resealable plastic bag containing suspected cannabis and a bottle of alcohol, allegedly stolen from a nearby liquour outlet shortly beforehand.

Police found the man had apparently defecated between two vehicles.

The man appeared to be affected by alcohol or drugs, was slurring his speech, struggling to walk unassisted and had difficulty responding to police.

He was taken to Gosford Police Station where it was discovered that some clothing worn by the man may also have been stolen.

Police also reviewed the Woy Woy Police Station CCTV.

He was subsequently charged with shoplifting, offensive behaviour, possession of a prohibited drug, and possession of stolen goods.

Two warrants for his arrest were also executed for assault and attempting to escape lawful custody.
