The Easter Sunday party at the Greenwood Hotel, which featured a special live performance from local heroes Infusion, joined on the weekend the growing number of Sydney events that have been targeted by police and sniffer dogs. Police reportedly arrived at about 10pm on Sunday night, insisting that the music be turned off while they took sniffer dogs through the venue.

The organisers of Sounds on Sunday claim they were not allowed to make an announcement during the raid, and by the time the police search was completed all the punters had left the venue – assuming that the night was over.

The promoters have apologized to the punters in a statement issued today. “Sounds on Sunday normally closes at 10pm, but we had been expecting to run until 11pm on Easter Sunday. We apologise for any disappointment to customers – as I’m sure you can imagine [it] is was very much out of our control.”

Nobody has hearted this, be the first Be the first!

Although people do actually know that the drugs that they may be carrying are illegal when they stop to think about it, it is easy to forget what kind of punishment you could cop if caught. The last thing that most people are thinking about when at a club

Gee the cops did their research, raid a club when it normally closes, drugs are well and truly all gone by that stage!

It may have closed early, but jeez it was fun beforehand! Gotta love smiling at the clowns who put on a raid @ the end of an event! Had to be 15 undercover there too? Some familiar faces holding a pooch @ the end.....!

Same old, same old, cops targeting dance parties/events where USALLY the only ones caught are punters with small amounts of drugs. Perhaps the NSW Police should take notice of the NSW Ombo's report into the general ineffectiveness of drug sniffer dogs an

I called in the cops because the music was disrupting my quiet Sunday afternoon at home in my North Sydney apartment.
