Law enforcement officers apprehended cash and nitrous oxide canisters following the observation of a vehicle considered suspicious on Bullhead Road in Borehamwood. The stop, which occurred on Monday, 27 April, led to officers conducting searches. These searches uncovered £3,240 in cash and six Smartwhips filled with nitrous oxide. As a result of the discovery, two individuals have been formally charged with possession offences. Nitrous oxide was reclassified as a Class C controlled drug in November 2023, with penalties for possession including potential fines or imprisonment for up to two years.
