MANY of us have had to complain after not receiving a package we were expecting - but in one Gwent resident's case, that probably wasn't a very good idea.

The parcel, labelled 'special delivery', was due to be delivered to an address in Abergavenny - but was instead picked up by the police when it was discovered it contained cannabis.

When the intended recipient made a complaint to Royal Mail that they hadn't received it, they probably didn't expect to be getting a visit from the police.

In a social media post the force said: “We have your cannabis and will be paying you a visit today.”
