Red Light Cyclist Caught With Drugs

A young cyclist, who was pulled over by police for jumping a red light, had cannabis and ecstacy on him.

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

He appeared at Highbury Corner Magistrates Court, where he contested knowingly having the ecstasy, and a date was fixed for the trial.

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

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

Audickas was conditionally discharged for twelve months and ordered to pay a £20 victim surcharge.

A forfeiture order was made to destroy the drugs under the Misuse of Drugs Act.
