Sheep eat £4000 of cannabis
''When I got there I realised it was a form of herbal cannabis plant. They were very strong in scent.''
Sheep accidentally ate £4000 worth of cannabis.
The flock at Fanny's Farm in Merstham, Surrey, were left disorientated and stumbling around after consuming seven bags of the illegal drug which were found abandoned on the outskirts of their field.
Farm manager Nellie Budd said: ''At first I thought it was someone's hedgerow rubbish. I went down to collect the bags so the sheep weren't eating black plastic.
''When I got there I realised it was a form of herbal cannabis plant. They were very strong in scent.''
Local police are now searching for anyone involved in dumping the class b substance but are struggling to trace suspects as the sheep ate most of the evidence.
