944 Britons arrested on drugs charges

An article in The Gibraltar Chronicle last week reported on a UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office report that said there 944 Brritons arrested on drugs charges from April 2009 to Mach 2010. 'Drugs contributed to more than a third of total arrests of Britons in France and more than a quarter in Ireland, Italy and Thailand,' the article continued, adding: 'Including natural causes, accidents and unlawful killings, there were 5,930 reported deaths of UK citizens abroad in 2009/10. Of these, 1,786 occurred in Spain, which also saw the highest number of arrests and detentions of UK nationals as well as the highest number of cases where Britons needed hospital treatment.'
