CRAP SEARCH OF THE WEEK

…..for an arresting aroma

On their way to this year’s Workhouse festival in rainy North Wales last weekend, one van load of would-be revellers got pulled over on the Welsh border by West Mercia police.

Apparently as they were going to a festival they might be “bringing drugs in from outside the area” (only local drugs here please!). After one copper got a noseful of a ‘suspicious’ smell they searched the van top to bottom, suspecting ‘the presence of cannabis’ – unfortunately for the keen-nosed cops the smell came from a pot of pungent organic pesto.  

Keywords: crap arrest of the week, festivals, wales
