One Lupton resident, who wishes to remain anonymous, seemed unconcerned by the raid.

Speaking to The Tab, he said: “We can do what we want here. Even if a Class A gets knocked about and you get caught by security, you’re back at lectures the next day.”

Another added that it was surprising for the police to be called, saying: “If we get caught smoking weed all that happens is that we get a slap on the wrist and a fine.”

“I know someone that was caught 3 times, nothing happens here.”

The University is yet to comment on the situation.
