Children sold fake packets or Revels sweets laced with drugs in Solihull

A suspected drug dealer has been arrested after police discovered children were being sold fake packets of Revels and other sweets laced with drugs.

Officers discovered quantities of cannabis disguised as packets of sweets after they acted on intelligence provided by a member of the public.

A man was arrested for possession with intent to supply after police swooped in Solihull, earlier this week. Images posted on Twitter by Solihull Police show the packaging which was discovered, including a bag of ‘Levels’, imitating the popular sweet ‘Revels’.

Others show packets of what appears to be a bubble gum named ‘Bubbalon’ which officers believe were being sold to vulnerable kids.

The force posted online: "We’ve been busy conducting warrants off intelligence received by you. Today we arrested one male for possession with intent to supply.

"We found quantities of cannabis and dealer bags. Intel suggests it’s sold to vulnerable children which we’ve now disrupted."
