Cyclist's Drugs Arrest After Red Light Jump

A young cyclist, who was pulled over by police for jumping a red light and had cannabis and ecstasy found on him, is due to stand trial today.

Lukas Audickas, 22, of Dixon Court, Canonbury Road, Islington was stopped on his bike in nearby Islington Green.

He is appearing at Highbury Corner Magistrates Court, where he will contest knowingly having the ecstasy.

Audickas has already pleaded guilty to possessing a small quantity of cannabis on October 5, but continues to deny one charge of possessing MDMA – better known as 'e'.

He claims he does not know how the ecstasy ended up in his pocket.

After the trial he will be sentenced on the cannabis charge.
