A businessman tried to smuggle thousands of pounds worth of drugs into Leeds Festival but was caught out by eagle-eyed security officers.
Hassan Qureshi, 32, was driving three people into the festival who he had contracted out to work as security guards for his company Night Patrol, when others noticed a "strong smell of cannabis."
Leeds Crown Court heard on Thursday from prosecutor Andrew Stranex that Qureshi, of Hyde Park Drive in Bradford, was driving a white Audi A3 in August 2019, when it was stopped. He said: "Two people in security clothing tried to enter the area used for working and another security person went and could smell cannabis and asked who had been smoking it.
