"Two arrested in drugs raid" (The Argus, September 4) stated 15 police dressed in stab-proof vests carrying shields smashed through a door at 7am to find nine tablets, thought to be amphetamine. What a success.

On a cost-effective basis, though, any one officer could purchase nine amphetamine tablets at most Brighton clubs after 11pm and, even paying top price, would save an awful lot of police time, money and effort.

Can't our police be found something more useful to do - and I don't mean manning speed cameras.
