Bus suitcase mix-up led to drugs seizure

A suitcase containing £6,500 worth of drugs has been handed in to police after someone picked it up by mistake on a bus.

Officers in Dumfries have taken to social media urging the owner to “pop in, tell us what’s inside” and claim it. However, their Facebook post warns “you will be arrested and will only get the empty case back after the court case”.

The suitcase was picked up by mistake by a man in Dumfries when he got off a bus travelling between London and Belfast on Tuesday morning.

When he got home, he realised it was not his.
