The type of story that we decided to have was a criminal sort of one. We thought that this was a good idea because the other story on the front cover was one about what was going on in portishead so we thought they would go well together as they were both from different genres.
The story we decided to do was going to be titled ' Drug raid in abandoned house '. We thought this would be a good story to put on the front page as in would have a lot of peoples interest.
As this was only going to be a story down the side it didnt need any pictures.
We started the story by bascially summing up what the story was about;
Early this week police seized drugs and cash from an abandoned two bedroom house down a back street alley just off Queens Road.
We then moved on to going more into detail about the story and what sort of things were found.
There was £15,000 worth of cannabis plants that had been growing in the house and stashes of cocaine and ecstasy tablets found underneath the floorboards. Three men were arrested at the scene of the crime and are to be charged later this year.
During the raid police officers also discovered a container Containing around £20,000, other illegal substances and some weighing scales
The next part of the story would be giving information and what happened to the criminals
Three men were arrested at the scene of the crime and are to be charged later this year
One of the men aged 23 has previously been charged with possession of cannabis and has served time in jail. He was caught this time along with Two other men aged 18 and 27. They will all be tried for possession of illegal substances with intent to supply.
In this part of the story we were unable to say who these men were due to legal reasons. It is unusual that this soon into the crime the criminals are anounced as they normally keep suspect names out of the stories untill they have been in trial or are convicted.
