Two men were found with kinder eggs filled with drugs up their bums as they tried to get into Creamfields. Marshall Maddock and Harry Hewitson were about to enter the north gate of the festival site before a drugs dog indicated to police that the pair may have illegal drugs.

When both were taken to a nearby area to be searched by officers, Maddock handed over a small quantity of drugs but refused to be searched further. Because of his refusal, an intimate search was conducted where officers found a kinder egg containing 10 bags of ketamine in his anus.

Hewitson also refused to be searched, claiming he didn't have any drugs, but when officers searched him he was also found to have a kinder egg with 10 bags of ketamine inside hidden in his anus. Appearing at Chester Crown Court, on Friday, October 4, the pair were handed sentences totalling 36 months in prison.

Because of their refusal an immediate search was conducted 🤣

Dogs can't smell ketamine. Also 10 bags of ketamine would be like 250 Brittish pounds, tops.

This is just a war-on-drugs article.

Ah, the war on drugs. What a colossal policy failure.

I miss qualudes so much

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 30 points 3 days ago

Talk about a k-hole!

[-] kandoh@reddthat.com 13 points 2 days ago

The little plastic orange thing inside the kinder eggs that holds the toy. Not the chocolate egg.

Really boys? The condom is much more comfortable.

Kinder Bueno

Why can't people take their drugs the way they prefer?? Geez.

[-] Fox@pawb.social 15 points 3 days ago

Maybe I'm an ignorant about these things, but wouldn't a kinder egg melt in there?

[-] Successful_Try543@feddit.org 24 points 3 days ago

I think, they've put the ketamine into the plastic shells which are inside the Kinder chocolate eggs and used those, not the chocolate egg shells.

[-] Fox@pawb.social 31 points 3 days ago

Ah ok. Seems pretty risky. Also kind of surprised that getting caught with some drugs at a music festival means a cavity search.

Exactly what I was thinking, at ATG all that happens is you get asked if you have any glass, they don't even search you.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

That's my experience as well. Glass (or I guess weapons) is all they checked for.

[-] Faydaikin@beehaw.org 13 points 3 days ago

I'm gonna take a guess that they mean the small plastic toy containers from inside the eggs and not the entire things.

I mean, it's not top tier chocolate but that would seem wasteful to me.

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 9 points 3 days ago

You don't want to spoil the Surprise.

I assumed it was some new way to infuse the drug into your body. Like a story I heard many years ago about girls soaking tampons in vodka to get drunk at school without being caught.

[-] Faydaikin@beehaw.org 1 points 2 days ago

Ohoho, the tampon trick isn't just for girls. It goes up your pooper and isn't very healthy.

[-] fubarx@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 days ago

Would love to hear the line of reasoning that led to the intersection of Kinder eggs, drugs, and bums.

Boofing K is one thing, but boofing kinder eggs is new to me

[-] zcd@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago

I could never get the egg in without cracking it :'(

You can smell how special it is

[-] Dolphinfreetuna@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Sounds like so much work

[-] I_am_10_squirrels@beehaw.org 6 points 2 days ago

So if you refuse to be searched, they just say "welp, you had your chance. Now bend over while big Al gets the gloves. Sorry, we're out of lube."

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 6 points 2 days ago

Pretty much. With the indication from the sniffer dog they have probable cause, so your options boil down to the rough way or the rougher way.

[-] linearchaos@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Sounds like we're going to need a new warning label....

"Don't let the filth catch you with this up your botty?"

Doesn't seem appropriate for a kiddie treat but they have to learn the lesson eventually.

[-] McLoud@lemm.ee 6 points 3 days ago

I wonder who cleans oit those "amnesty bins" at the end of the festival lol.

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 4 points 2 days ago

Pedantry corner: the product is Kinder Eggs, kinder eggs are something else entirely.

[-] BobbyGasoline@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

I would have liked to hear to brain storming session that lead to this brilliant plan.

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 0 points 2 days ago

You can see it on their faces. Those guys are basically enlightened now

[-] timewarp@lemmy.world 0 points 3 days ago

That's one way to get someone to finger your butthole
