Birmingham man arrested after cash and Class A drugs hidden inside a Kinder Egg

A man was arrested after police discovered Class A drugs hidden inside a Kinder Egg in Birmingham on Thursday (28 October). Erdington and Kingstanding police conducted a joint operation and arrested a man for drug dealing after dicovering the drugs inside the chocolate treat.

A post from the Birmingham East Neighbourhood task force, read: “Officers from Tyburn and Kingstanding conducted a joint operation last night. Within a couple of hours we had one in custody for Drug Dealing Class A. Team Work not quite the usual surprise found in a Kinder Egg.”

This certainly isn’t the first time drug dealers have used the Kinder products to attempt to hide drugs. Just last month (September) a man from Wednesbury was stopped by police in Worcester where some products were found stashed inside a Kinder Egg. A similar incident took place in Halifax, West Yorkshire recently.

Just three days ago (October 25) police in the area seized a car with no insurance and found Class A drugs stored inside a Kinder Egg in the car.
