Nurses at Warrington Hospital accidentally given thank-you cake laced with cannabis
The red velvet cake was a gift from an elderly patient, without realising what was inside.
Nurses at Warrington Hospital got more than they bargained for - when they were given a thank you cake laced with cannabis.
It was a gift from an elderly patient who brought in the red velvet cake left over from his grandson's 18th birthday without realising what was inside.
In a statement, Cheshire Police say: “Officers received a report on Monday 27 May that a cake which was suspected to contain drugs had been brought into Warrington Hospital by a member of the public and given to staff.
"Following an investigation officers determined that the member of the public who had brought in the cake was unaware of the content of the cake as it had been left over from their grandson’s birthday party.
"Officers have now spoken to all parties involved and given some strong words of advice.
"The case has now been closed and the cake has been destroyed".
