UK - Possession of Cocaine

[nobby]

A friend of a friend was going to a festival (where I believe drug taking is quite common) and there were sniffer dogs and police searching people on entry to the festival. This person had got through and was making a phone call when a policeman decided to bring him back to strip search him in a specially designated tent (apparently this is something they were trialling at this particular festival).

Despite previously saying he had nothing on him, when he was made to drop his boxers, the policeman saw the 2 joints and 3 wraps of cocaine he had there. He admitted straight away that it was cocaine.

The drugs were taken off him (he was given a receipt) and he was allowed to go into the festival, being told he had to report to a police station nearby to the festival a couple of weeks later.

I'd be really grateful if anyone knows what he would be looking at or any advice on what to say when he goes into the police station, I'd be really grateful. Thanks

Sorry just to clarify I believe the amounts were 3 grams of cocaine and 2 skunk joints equating to approx 0.75 gram
