Police show you can have your hash cake and eat it

A MAN being held in a Dutch police cell on suspicion of growing cannabis got an unintended treat for lunch — a piece of hashish-laced cake, a spokesman said yesterday.

“It was an accident,” said Alwin Don, police spokesman in the southern province of Zeeland.

The cake had been seized by police in an unrelated investigation and stored in a refrigerator — close to lunch packets served to suspects being held in cells at the police station in Goes, 180km south of Amsterdam.
