Drugs stash found hidden in bag of Aunt Bessie's roast potatoes
A man has been arrested after police found a stash of drugs hidden in a bag of Aunt Bessie's frozen potatoes.
Merseyside Police raided the home in the Wirral on Tuesday after they saw a man in a Ford Focus acting "suspiciously".
Following a stop and search of the vehicle, officers found a small amount of suspected amphetamine, a burner phone and cash, the force said.
A further search was carried out at an address in Bromborough, Wirral, where officers found a large amount of suspected amphetamine in the fridge.
They also discovered bags of white powder, cannabis and numerous individual wraps of amphetamine, a class B drug.
Pictures of the haul showed bags of drugs – as well as a bag of the Sunday roast staple - inside an evidence bag.
A 63-year-old man was held on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a controlled class B drug. He has since been released under investigation.
Community policing inspector Daniel Greenhalgh said: "Thanks to proactive policing work a significant amount of drugs have been removed from our streets which cause harm in our communities.
"We urge people to continue coming forward with information and intelligence by either contacting us or anonymously through Crimestoppers so we can act. If you have anti-social behaviour or criminality in your area let us know and we will take action."
