The bag of suspected cannabis found by police
POLICE who stopped a car whose passengers were suspected of breaching lockdown regulations made a second discovery.
The two officers intended to have a word with the three men in the vehicle about Covid-19 rules.
But they noticed a "strong smell" and, after carrying out a serach, found "a large bag of cannabis".
A social media message from the officers said: "Two males are being dealt with."
