Cheshire Police unearth drugs buried at Creamfields site

bbc.com —

Police discovered 204 canisters of nitrous oxide and large bags of ecstasy, MDMA, and ketamine buried at the Creamfields Festival site in Daresbury, Cheshire, ahead of its Thursday opening. More than 80,000 attendees are expected at the event, where Cheshire Police conducted the pre-event search. Superintendent Andy Blizard stated a zero-tolerance drug policy and warned that further searches would likely uncover more stashes, disappointing those who buried them. Police humorously invited anyone who buried a rucksack or holdall to contact them for its return. Officers will maintain a visible presence during the festival to support security and prevent crime.
