Ten drug arrests at Vic nightclub strips

Ten revellers have been caught with drugs during a police crackdown at two of Melbourne's busiest nightclub strips.

A squad of police officers and sniffer dogs headed to Prahran's Chapel Street and St Kilda's Fitzroy Street on Saturday night, working with venue owners as part of a safety operation.

Ten people were arrested for drug possession although only one was formally interviewed while the others were referred to drug diversion programs.
