DYFED Powys Police seized three cannabis plants and arrested a 33-year-old man when they were alerted to a property in Rhayader on Monday, September 14.
The man has since been placed in the diversionary scheme, police say.
A Dyfed Powys statement read: “We executed a drugs warrant at a property in Brynheulog, Rhayader, on Monday, September 14. Three cannabis plants were seized and a 33-year-old man was arrested.”
The Diversion Scheme will enable eligible offenders to get the support and guidance they need to keep out of the criminal justice system. Only individuals who have committed a low level offence which is eligible for an out-of-court disposal will be accepted onto the scheme.
The initiative seeks to tackle the root cause of offending and associated health and community related issues.
The multi-agency approach seeks to address offending behaviour at a much earlier stage in a person’s offending journey and improve awareness of and access to support services for eligible offenders committing low level offences.
