Two British Drug Dealers Arrested at Budapest Festival
Police have arrested two British nationals at a music festival in Budapest on suspicion of drug dealing, the Budapest prosecutor’s office said. Police observed the two men, aged 31 and 24, selling drugs to another man on the evening of Aug 8, the prosecutor’s office told MTI.

They witnessed the older of the two suspects returning from a stage to a tent that was being guarded by the other suspect and handing a packet containing a suspicious substance to the third man in exchange for cash.

Meanwhile, the suspect guarding the tent took out another packet from which he poured a powdery substance into his hand before inhaling it through his nose.

The two men were then placed under arrest by police.

A search of their clothing and tent yielded more powdery substances, pills which were later found to be amphetamine, cocaine and ecstasy, and cash.
