Police left cheeky note after discovering drug dealer’s hidey-hole

When officers with the Metropolitan Police uncovered some hidden drugs in Camden, north London, they left a note behind for whoever left it there.



Sgt Paul Taylor explained a colleague discovered the dealer’s hiding place near the Grand Union Canal and removed the two bags of cannabis on Wednesday.

“Drugs found by the team today in the dealer’s latest sneaky hidey-hole,” he wrote. “Found by PC 'Sniffer' Simmond's snout.”



“This note left in the place of the early seizure from the canal towpath.” A piece of paper with ‘Metropolitan Police Service’ at the head, sported the brief handwritten word: “Unlucky.”
