Stafford Police Smash Major Drug Haul Hidden in Yoga Mat

Stafford police have dealt a heavy blow to the local drug trade after intercepting 1kg of cannabis cleverly concealed inside a yoga mat. Bradley James Forrester, 30, from Stafford, was jailed for one year at Stafford Crown Court on Thursday, 12 February. He had pleaded guilty to involvement in supplying a Class B drug.

The suspicious package arrived at a Stafford residence last October. After a detailed probe, officers traced the cannabis back to the US. Forrester was arrested and initially kept silent but soon broke his silence when confronted with the evidence.
