Suspicious Behaviour Sparks Police Action
Hodyfa Al-Ani, 22, of Dartmouth Crescent, and Robin Paige, 22, from Hollingdean Road, were stopped by police on 17 February. Officers spotted the duo acting suspiciously in St George’s Mews and decided to search them.
The search revealed both men were carrying controlled drugs. Paige was also found with a knuckle duster, leading to an additional charge for possession of an offensive weapon.
