A 16-year-old Form Four student was detained earlier today after police discovered cannabis and a concealed weapon in his possession at a secondary school in Valencia.
Around 8:20 am on Monday 17th November 2025, an officer conducting a routine foot patrol on the school compound observed the student acting suspiciously. Concerned by his behaviour, the officer alerted the school’s Safety Officer and Principal and requested their presence to carry out a search.
While escorting the student to the Principal’s office, the officer noticed him handing a rag to another pupil. The officer intervened and retrieved the item, which contained a translucent plastic bag holding 15 packets of cannabis. The substance was later weighed and amounted to 10 grams.
