Free dope left at roadside for the taking

Three bags brimming with cannabis have been dumped on the side of a road on the New South Wales south coast of Australia with a sign advertising "free dope".



Shoalhaven police posted pictures of the garbage bags and the sign, which said "Free Dope. Smoke. Mull up" accompanied by a drawing of a cannabis leaf.

A local had reported seeing the bags on Bolong Road, Bomaderry, on Saturday morning.



Officers inspected the bags and found 16 kilograms of cannabis leaf inside. Police said the leaf was of little value, as the head of the plant is sold. The cannabis will be destroyed.
