DRUG tests were in place at a number of venues in Andover last weekend, as part of an effort to crack down on drug use.
Hand swabs were provided by police as a 'condition to enter' at venues in Andover town centre on March 9, and March 10.
In total 76 hand swabs were provided, with 14 positive results, and two individuals 'dealt with' by officers for drug offences.
