File on 4 Adult Gaming Centres
High street gambling venues, known as adult gaming centres, promise a safe and sociable experience; the chance to have a chat, a coffee and a flutter, under the supervision of trained staff. And they're proving to be popular, with an increasing number springing up across the country, some of which are open 24 hours a day. But File on 4 Investigates hears concerns some venues are failing to protect people struggling with gambling addictions - with devastating consequences. AGC's are supposed to ensure staff are trained to spot problem gamblers and intervene. They also operate a self-exclusion scheme which allows problem gamblers to self-exclude from AGC's. Staff should intervene if they spot somebody who has self-exlcuded and should ask them to leave the premises. It's a sensible plan - but does it actually work?

Woman, 21, who tried to smuggle drugs into prison inside a crisp packet for a stranger is jailed
A woman used a packet of Quavers in an attempt to smuggle cannabis into prison while visiting an inmate that she did not know, a court has heard. Rahima Begom used a packet of the popular crisp to conceal the drugs and tobacco which she passed to HMP Wayland prisoner Kieron Nickels. However, the officers became suspicious and the drugs were found after the pair were searched, Norwich Crown Court heard. The court was told that Begom, 21, had visited Nickels, 25, who is serving eight years in custody for aggravated burglary. John Morgans, prosecuting, said she took the package from between her legs before hiding it with the Quavers packet before sliding it on the table. He added that the 4g of cannabis had a value of between £270 and £300 outside prison, the Eastern Daily Press reports. Inside the prison the value of the drugs - contained in two tubes - would have been around 'four and 10 times as much'. The pair were not known to each other before the prison visit on November 13, 2022, the court was told. Having both pleaded guilty to conveying a class A article, namely cannabis, into Wayland prison, the pair appeared in court on Tuesday Oliver Haswell, mitigating for Begom, of Sotherton Road, Eaton, Norwich, said she was 18 at the time of the offence and had shown 'immaturity, naivety and stupidity'. He added hat she knew she was to be paid for taking drugs into the prison but did not know what it was or how much. Damian Zelazowski, for Nickels, now of HMP Aylesbury, said that he had accrued a debt while inside which he had to pay off by helping get drugs into prison. Judge Alice Robinson jailed Nickels for eight months and sentenced Begom to two months imprisonment, suspended for 18 months.
