GWENT Police have appealed for information after 17 bags of cannabis were found inside a container.

Officers found the container yesterday (Monday) inside a black Footasylum shopping bag in Tir-y-Berth, Caerphilly.

Inside the carrier bag, officers found a whey protein container that was instead being used to hide 17 small sealable bags of cannabis – a Class-B illegal drug.
