This is the South Wales Guardian, not the national Guardian broadsheet
sad news though, as this only makes the heddlu think that more and more people at raves may have needles and heroin…

[font=verdana,arial,helvetica]Relapse: Accused had a significant difficulty with drugs[/font]
[font=verdana,arial,helvetica]A MAN caught with heroin at the Betws mountain rave tried to eat the evidence, magistrates were told.[/font]
[font=verdana,arial,helvetica]Alexander Caulder, of 56 Kellaway Avenue, Bristol, appeared in Ammanford Court on Thursday.[/font]
[font=verdana,arial,helvetica]The 28-year-old pleaded guilty to possessing a quantity of Class A drugs. Prosecutor Ken Jones said: “He was seen by police on Betws mountain where there was an illegal rave. “He was swaying from side to side, his speech was slurred and his eyes were wide open. “He was searched. They found a metal glasses case with white residue, a syringe, and three used needles.”[/font]
[font=verdana,arial,helvetica]Caulder told police he had purchased 1.3g of heroin – two wraps for £10 each – in Bristol, and he was using citric acid as a mix to inject himself.[/font]
[font=verdana,arial,helvetica]Hywel Davies, defending, said it was a ‘one-off incident.’ He added: “In the past he’s had a significant difficulty with drugs. “One year ago he decided to pull himself together and leave behind his previous life. “This is a relapse. “He’s particularly sorry for his stupid actions in the police station for trying to swallow the two wraps. “He only did that because he was very worried about what would happen to him.”[/font]
[font=verdana,arial,helvetica]Magistrates ordered a full pre-sentence report to be carried out. Caulder has been conditionally bailed to appear at Ammanford Court on June 30.[/font]
