Parents are being put on alert over food products that contain cannabis that could be used to lure children into criminal activity.
Police in Shropshire say that cannabis edibles are sometimes packaged to appear like regular sweets and chocolate bars and they know that this is now in the community.
They are illegal and can be found in many different forms, including cakes, sweets, chocolates and drinks. Some products that are labelled as containing cannabis ingredients, such as CBD oils and gummies for instance, may be legal. PC Edward added:"The consequences to young people, and indeed wider society, cannot be underestimated.
PC Edward's message to parents is that"We are sharing this with you so that you can be conscious of the packaging if you see them around, particularly if anyone you know is in possession of them.
