A 17-year-old on bail for firearms offences is alleged to have led a gang on a three-day crime spree which totalled tens of thousands of dollars. Goods totalling more than $70,000 were stolen during the rampage, which extended from Darwin to Katherine. Police allege the 17-year-old male and three females, aged 15, 17 and 18, broke into several homes in Darwin's CBD after attending a party together last Friday night. The gang is then believed to have stolen a vehicle in Darwin after the 17-year-old ringleader failed to report to police as a condition of his bail. The gang members then drove to Katherine, where they allegedly carried out up to five break-and-enters be…

A LAVINGTON woman who carried cannabis with her when visiting her father in Junee jail should have been sentenced to community service, a magistrate said in Albury Court yesterday. But Mr Tony Murray said Kaylah Maree Millar was deemed unsuitable in a pre-sentence report for that order because of her drug problem. Mr Murray said he regarded as serious offences involving people taking drugs into jails. He said he would take into account Millars drug problem, convicted her and put her on a two-year bond. She was ordered to attend counselling, courses or programs as directed, submit to urine analysis and was fined $400. Millar, 18, of Glenelg Drive, sought to …

A teacher who was found with 29 kilograms of cannabis in her home has faced a disciplinary hearing to consider whether she is fit to teach. Jennifer Scott, of Sherbrooke, pleaded guilty in 2003 to cultivating, possessing and using cannabis after police found 76 plants in her house. Shewas given a 12-month community-based order without conviction. Ms Scott, 45, yesterday told a Victorian Institute of Teaching disciplinary panel that she used cannabis before her arrest when she was stressed. She also made marijuana cookies to help her father, who was in chronic pain after a stroke. The panel heard there was no evidence, besides the commercial quantity, to suggest she ha…

If anybody's interested there's an email petition to stop the death penalty if Shappelle Corby is found guilty in Indo. Emails should be sent to: minister.downer@dfat.gov.au This isn't a question of innocence - it's about pot people and whether you should die for having a weed that nature gave us. So if anyone has time please send one to our foreign minister who does fuck all for his pay and get him off his ass. Thankyou, safe travels to you and your families, peace Vaz

Victorian Police have defended the tactics of the Special Operations Group (SOG) after the second fatal police shooting in the state this year. The elite unit shot dead a 29-year-old man during a raid on a home in Brooklyn in Melbourne's west this morning. Officers say they were investigating an attempted murder and drug crimes and have seized a number of cannabis plants.

SEIZURES of hydroponically grown cannabis in the Adelaide's Elizabeth area are running at record levels. So far this financial year, 182 offences have been recorded, compared to 152 for the corresponding period last year. Detections peaked in February with 29 offences recorded – a 61 per cent increase over the January figure of 18. Elizabeth CIB acting Chief Inspector John Venditto said yesterday the large increase in detections was a result of a focus on drug distribution in the area. The increased use of accurate intelligence on drug manufacturing and dedicated operations to tackle them were key components of the police action. "SA police operate with effective …

Cannabis found in policeman's home, court hears A Melbourne court has heard cannabis was found in the home of a police officer charged with drug offences and attempting to pervert the course of justice.

Collins was later charged in relation to ecstasy trafficking and providing information about planned police raids to an alleged drug dealer. The alleged dealer is also believed to be an associate of murdered police informer, Terence Hodson.

SMOKING marijuana drove Timothy Kosowicz mad and he strangled an angelic little girl - but a judge blames the failings of our society. A court heard yesterday that Kosowicz, 23, had used the drug since he was 12 and for the past five years was in and out of hospital with "voices in his head". Despite admitting killing Chloe Hoson, 5, in a western Sydney caravan park, the Supreme Court yesterday found him not guilty by reason of mental illness. Yesterday's finding reopened the debate about the mental damage caused by long-term cannabis use. The court heard Kosowicz strangled, sexually assaulted then dumped Chloe's body in a creek in November 2003 after she knock…
