A NARRE Warren man was among 56 people arrested at a music festival on New Years Day.
At the Summerdayze music festival at Sidney Myer Music Bowl on 1 January, police conducted Passive Alert Detection (PAD) dog operation which targeted illicit substances.
They arrested 49 men and seven women.
Of those arrested, 53 were referred to a drug diversion program and a Narre Warren man, 23, a Laverton man, 32, and a Glen Waverly man, 22, were charged.
Police said drugs seized at the event included ecstasy, amphetamine, cocaine, cannabis and illegally acquired prescription medication.
Operations commander Senior Sergeant Damien Christensen said it was disappointing people would still take the risk despite community education and plenty of warnings from the police.
“There is no such thing as a safe party drug and people put their lives at risk taking illegal drugs,” Sen Sgt Christensen said.
“Additionally, there are hefty penalties associated with drug use and trafficking and a criminal conviction is something that does not go away.
“Police will continue to run PAD dog operations at music festivals and other events in Victoria, targeting illicit drug use and trafficking.”
