Woman accused of snorting cocaine off the bonnet of a police car found not guilty

A GIBRALTARIAN woman accused of snorting cocaine off the bonnet of an unmarked police car, while a drug squad officer was inside the car, has been found not guilty.

It was alleged that the woman had been seen snorting a ‘suspicious substance’ by undercover police officers, who were operating in the area of the Landport ditch car park last June.

After allegedly seeing the woman and her friend snorting the drug off the bonnet of his car, the member of the RGP’s Drug Squad alerted other undercover officers in the area, who arrested her.

A search of her handbag was said to have resulted in the discovered of a plastic wrapper containing cocaine.

The trial opened and closed at Gibraltar’s Supreme Court.
