More than 100 people have been arrested for drug offences at a Melbourne music festival.
Police seized drugs including ecstasy, amphetamine, cocaine, GHB and MDMA during a sniffer dog operation at the Stereosonic festival at Melbourne Showgrounds over the weekend.
They arrested 139 people, with the majority receiving drug diversions or cautions.
Ten people were charged.
Police Senior Sergeant Mark Pilkington said it was disappointing that so many people were risking their lives by taking illicit substances.
"Believe it or not, you are taking a serious risk with your health and life every time you take an illicit substance," he said.
"We will continue to work closely with event organisers to try and limit these substances at events."
