More than 100 people have been arrested for alleged drug possession and supply offences at the Listen Out festival at Sydney’s Centennial Parklands.



New South Wales police said that, during the operation, 116 people were allegedly found in possession of illicit drugs. An additional 13 people were arrested and charged with alleged drug supply offences.

All those arrested have been charged.

The dance music event at Randwick was held on Saturday and attracted about 25,000 people.

Three people were taken to hospital with suspected drug-related issues, police said.

The operation’s commander, Superintendent Karen McCarthy, said: “People need to realise that high-visibility police operations are par for the course at major music festivals. If you bring illicit drugs to these events, chances are you will be caught.”
