Hogwarts pupil Vincent Crabbe had $4K worth of cannabis in his bedroom
HARRY Potter actor Jamie Waylett, who played bullying Hogwarts pupil Vincent Crabbe, has been arrested after police allegedly found cannabis worth £2,000 ($4,400) in his bedroom.
Waylett was pulled over last week while driving an Audi in Westminster, central London, by police who believed he was behaving suspiciously.
A search of the car allegedly revealed eight bags of suspected cannabis, and Waylett and a friend, both 19, were arrested on suspicion of drug possession and taken to a nearby police station.
The actor’s home in Camden, north London, which he shares with his mother, Theresa, two brothers and a sister, was then raided and police allegedly seized 10 mature cannabis plants valued at around £2,000.
The plants were allegedly growing under powerful hydroponic lights beside the actor’s DJ decks and a PlayStation.
Waylett was arrested again on suspicion of producing a Class B drug, a charge which carries up to 14 years imprisonment.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said Waylett’s car was stopped at around 7pm on April 2 and his home was searched at around 10.40pm.
“Both men have been bailed to a date in July pending further inquiries and tests on the substances,” he added.
Waylett has appeared alongside Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint in all six of the blockbuster Harry Potter films.
The latest instalment, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, is due out in July.
