Activist charged by police at drug consumption van

An activist has been charged by police after officers attended at a drug consumption van in Glasgow.

Peter Krykant, 43, is campaigning for a change in the law, claiming the current legislation forces addicts to inject in unsafe conditions in filthy alleyways.

He has now been charged after police attended a drug consumption van in Parnie Street on Friday morning.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “A 43-year-old man has been charged in connection with an offence under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 on Parnie Street in Glasgow during the morning of Friday, October 23.

“A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal in due course.”
