In a bizarre turn of events, local police are appealing for the owner of a large stash of 121 wraps of cocaine to come forward and collect it from their lost and found property store.
The stash was discovered by PCSO Worrall while on routine patrol of Franks Park. He noticed two males acting suspiciously and hiding something inside a tree stump. He remained situationally aware and turned on his body worn camera to capture their description and the vehicle they got into.
Once it was safe to do so, PCSO Worrall searched the area and found a very large stash of cocaine.
The investigation is now ongoing to catch up with the rightful owners, but in the meantime, police are appealing for them to come forward and collect their stash.
"We understand that this may seem like a strange situation," said a spokesperson for the police. "However, we want to assure the rightful owner that they will not be in any trouble. We just want to return their property to them."
If you believe that you may be the owner of the cocaine stash, please contact the police on 020 8721 2050.
