What to do after being caught with a small amount of weed and released with a case number?
Dear Sir/Madam,
My friends and I were caught at home by the CID with a small amount of weed after one of my friends deposited funds in an account to purchase cannabis at the end of 2023.
We all tested positive at the CID headquarters, admitted that we had it for personal use, and were transferred to a police station.
We were released after 24 hours with a case number, but we still haven’t spoken to anyone, and we don’t know what the next step is.
