Perth legal high shop left deserted after raid

Perth legal high shop left deserted after raid

A legal high shop was closed and deserted just days after being raided by police.

Officers seized a “significant” haul of psychoactive substances and related paraphernalia during the incident at the Bong Company in Perth on Friday.

However by Monday the premises on Atholl Street had been almost completely stripped and the doors remained locked.

It is unclear whether the business owners have vacated the premises voluntarily, or at the behest of a landlord or the police.

The substances seized are to be tested to determine their composition.

A spokeswoman for Police Scotland confirmed that they had visited the shop on Friday afternoon.

She said: “Officers from the community investigation unit in Perth executed a search warrant under the misuse of drugs act 1971 at The Bong Company, Atholl Street, Perth.

“A significant quantity of new psychoactive substances and related paraphernalia were seized and the inquiry is on-going to establish if criminal offences have been committed. No one has been charged in relation to the raid.”

Perth city centre councillor Peter Barrett has campaigned against legal high sellers operating in the area.

He said: “I hope the apparent closure of the Bong Company is permanent. I have had concerns since they opened and tried to advertise legal highs in their shop window.

“The news that the shop has been the target of a police raid is a welcome sign that Police Scotland is beginning to take a more proactive approach to dealers in new drugs operating from shop premises in the city centre.”

The owner of the Bong Company could not be contacted for comment.
