Officers seize drugs buried at Creamfields site days before start of festival

Cheshire Constabulary officers have seized class A , B, and C drugs along with over 200 nitrous oxide canisters buried at the Creamfields festival site in Daresbury.
Specialist search teams uncovered the illicit items, which included green Cornetto-shaped ecstasy tablets, during pre-event sweeps.
Around 80,000 festivalgoers are expected to attend the event over the August bank holiday weekend.
Superintendent Andy Blizard reiterated a zero-tolerance policy regarding drugs and confirmed searches will continue prior to the festival opening.
Cheshire Police humorously invited anyone who buried bags of drugs at the site to contact them to claim their property back.
