City centre raids find drugs disguised as children's sweets

Sweets laced with drugs have been seized in city centre raids this weekend.

Edible cannabis products, that look very similar to sweet treats, were found after officers from Admiral Street Community Team carried out a warrant at a Liverpool property.

During the search, under the Misuse of Drugs Act, police found a number of illegal products including cannabis laced sweets.

Officers posted images of the cannabis products that were disguised as popular sweets.

One bag that resembled a share bag of Skittles was named Zittlez and sweets that look similar to Chewits and Tango flavoured products were also confiscated.

Police asked parents and carers to "please take note" of the illegal items, as many of them "look as though they are for children".

A Merseyside police spokesperson said: "Officers from Admiral Street Community Team carried out a warrant in Liverpool City Centre under the Misuse of Drugs Act.

"During the search of the address a number of items were recovered.

"Parents please take note of some of the items which look as though they are for children - these products contain cannabis and are illegal."
