Stafford police have landed a serious blow on the drug supply after intercepting a 1kg cannabis shipment disguised as a yoga mat. Bradley James Forrester, 30, from Stafford, was locked up for one year at Stafford Crown Court on Thursday, 12 February. He pleaded guilty to being involved in the supply of a Class B drug.

The dodgy parcel arrived at a Stafford home last October. Following a thorough investigation, officers traced the cannabis back to America. Forrester was arrested and initially refused to comment, but later caved when confronted with the evidence.
