Officers in the southern Netherlands have found a garden gnome weighing nearly 2kg (4lb) and made of the drug MDMA.

"Drugs appear in many shapes and sizes, but every now and then we come across special things," Dongemond Police said in a translated social media post.

The gnome was found among suspected narcotics during a large drug search.

"In itself a strange place to keep your garden gnome," the force said. "That's why we decided to test [it] for narcotics".

"The gnome himself was visibly startled," police said, referring to the gnome having its hands covering its mouth.

That's because he's not a fucking snitch.

My 20 year old self would have demolished that gnome.

I'm middle aged and I'd still lick it every 6 weeks or so. Just long enough in-between licks to make sure my brain doesn't get fried.
