Police in the southern Netherlands came across a trippy find during a large drug search – a 2kg garden gnome made entirely of MDMA.
The gnome was found among suspected narcotics during a large drug search with the police saying that the drug house was “a strange place to keep your garden gnome, that’s why we decided to test [it] for narcotics”.
Gnomes are usually found next to the fishpond in your parent’s backyard, so to find one among all that molly is rather unusual.
“Drugs appear in many shapes and sizes, but every now and then we come across special things,” the Dongemond regional police said in a social media post.
“The gnome himself was visibly startled,” police said, referring to the gnome having its hands covering its mouth.
MDMA – which is an illegal substance in the Netherlands – is a synthetic party drug also known as ecstasy. As of 2019, the Netherlands was among the world’s leading producers of MDMA.
It is not the first time someone has attempted to hide the drug in inconspicuous guises.
Last year, a Scottish man was jailed for more than four years for trying to smuggle over £84,000 worth of MDMA that was hidden in cat food into the country. A Leeds man was also previously charged over a plot to smuggle 90kg of the drug into the UK hidden inside pallets of frozen chicken.
Strange scenes in Dongemond. Especially as gnomes only show up an hour or so after the emdee kicks in. Gnome what we’re saying?
