Three people have been arrested after chocolate bars laced with cannabis were found during a raid in Doncaster.

Police discovered the bars, large amounts of the drug and more than £5,000 in cash at the address in the Rossington area on Tuesday (April 16).

Two men, aged 28 and 18, and a 59-year-old woman, have been questioned on suspicion of possession of a controlled Class B drug with intent to supply.

They've since been released on bail.

Sergeant Chris Rogers, of Doncaster South NPT, said: "We were able to execute a warrant under Section 23 of the Misuse of Drugs Act thanks to vital intelligence received concerning activities happening at a property in the Rossington area.

"Inside, we found significant amounts of drugs which have since been destroyed as well as cash and phones which strongly suggest that drug deals were taking place from inside the property.

"The chocolate bars we recovered could easily be mistaken for normal bars of chocolate when in fact they contained quantities of an illegal drug in the form of cannabis.

"If these were to end up in the hands of a child, the consequences could have been disastrous and we are pleased we have been able to take these out of circulation."
