Well, we're properly into festival season now (Download Scotland is in midflow as we speak), so time for our first festival arrest update. Homelands scored 42 arrests, with four festival-goers requiring hospital treatment, two for drug related problems. Of the 42 arrested, seven will go to court - four are charged with drug dealing offences, two have been charged with drink driving and one with failing to give a breath test. We should add that police say they're delighted with the way the festival went as both robbery and vehicle crime were significantly down on previous years - so hurrah for that.
