A TOTAL of 22 people were arrested at Stonehenge as revellers celebrated the summer solstice.
Supt Matt Pullen from Wiltshire Police said: “Solstice 2013 has been a great success with approximately 21,000 people celebrating in the positive, friendly atmosphere as they waited for sunrise. The weather held but unfortunately the cloud cover was too dense to see the sun come up.
“This year there have been a lower number of arrests compared with previous years - 22 were taken into custody mainly in relation to drugs offences.”
He added most people respected the conditions of entry and amnesty bins were used.
Around 70 Cannabis street warnings were issued. “As with previous years, the passive drugs dogs proved very effective,” said Supt Pullen.
