TEN people were caught in possession of drugs following a stop-and- search operation at Bristol Temple Meads station.
Avon and Somerset police joined forces with Wiltshire police and British Transport Police for the operation at the railway station on Saturday night.
The operation was set up to target drug dealers bringing illegal substances into Wiltshire.
Wiltshire sniffer dog Griffin indicated that 20 people might be carrying drugs and they were all searched.
Five people were found to be in possession of Class A drugs and four others were given cannabis street warnings.
Another man was found to have 430 LSD tablets on him and was arrested for possession with intent to supply.
Nearly all the other people searched admitted recent drug use.
Wiltshire police dog handler Marie Poole said: "These detections at the weekend took Griffin's total drug detections to more than 100 since April.
"Griffin has become an integral part of our team and is making a real indent on the drugs scene in Wiltshire.
"The operation in Bristol goes to show that forces around the region are calling on the expertise of our drugs dogs and they are proving a real success.
"This was another great addition to Griffin's record."
