News Search led to
cannabis find AN East Farleigh man arrested by police at a bus stopwas “equipped for burglary” and later found to be growing cannabis. Appearing at Maidstone Crown
Court on February 3, William Leonard Rye (38), formerly of Vic- arage Lane, was jailed for 18 months. The court heard he was seen by
two patrol officers at a bus stop, at just after midnight on June 28, in Tunbridge Wells. Knowing no buses were running at that time, they spoke to him and searched him. Rye was carrying a crowbar, catapult and a window hole punch tool. He was arrested on suspicion of going equipped to steal. After producing a searchwarrant
for an address in Marden, about 50 cannabis plantswere also found. Rye admitted both going equipped to steal and cultivating cannabis. DC Bob Fursey said: “The suspi-
cions of the officers in stopping to speak to Rye were well justified. We investigate burglaries when they occur, but also seek to prevent them taking place. Hopefully, this is what we did by arresting Rye that evening as well as preventing this cannabis from entering circula- tion in Kent.”

Stones threaten legal action over 3G ban
MAIDSTONE United are threat- ening legal action after a decision was made to forbid clubs from playing their Football Conference fixtures on 3G pitches. The Stones became the first foot-
ball club in the country to build a stadium, in James Whatman Way, with a synthetic surface as their main pitch. The Ryman Premier League club
are in contention for promotion to the Conference – the fifth tier of the
football pyramid. A proposal to overturn this rule
was rejected by members by 21 votes to 11 and the Football Con- ference wrote to the Stones stating the issue is “therefore settled”. However, a club statement said:
“This seems to state that no com- promise can be considered. This is contrary to good sense, popular opinion and also the wishes of a large number of Conference clubs. “We have therefore written again
to the Conference to request further consideration of our own request to be allowed to play on our 3G pitch if promoted.We are going all out to try and persuade the Conference Board that it is in the common in- terest to find a sensible and amica- ble agreement to avoid a costly and divisive dispute. “If the Conference does not reply
favourablywe intend to protect the club’s interests by pursuing legal proceedings. ”
