Two men were found with kinder eggs filled with drugs up their bums as they tried to get into Creamfields. Marshall Maddock and Harry Hewitson were about to enter the north gate of the festival site before a drugs dog indicated to police that the pair may have illegal drugs.

When both were taken to a nearby area to be searched by officers, Maddock handed over a small quantity of drugs but refused to be searched further. Because of his refusal, an intimate search was conducted where officers found a kinder egg containing 10 bags of ketamine in his anus.

Hewitson also refused to be searched, claiming he didn't have any drugs, but when officers searched him he was also found to have a kinder egg with 10 bags of ketamine inside hidden in his anus. Appearing at Chester Crown Court, on Friday, October 4, the pair were handed sentences totalling 36 months in prison.

Talk about a k-hole!

Ah, the war on drugs. What a colossal policy failure.

I miss qualudes so much

Why can't people take their drugs the way they prefer?? Geez.

[–] Fox@pawb.social 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Maybe I'm an ignorant about these things, but wouldn't a kinder egg melt in there?

[–] Successful_Try543@feddit.org 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think, they've put the ketamine into the plastic shells which are inside the Kinder chocolate eggs and used those, not the chocolate egg shells.

[–] Fox@pawb.social 31 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ah ok. Seems pretty risky. Also kind of surprised that getting caught with some drugs at a music festival means a cavity search.

Exactly what I was thinking, at ATG all that happens is you get asked if you have any glass, they don't even search you.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

That's my experience as well. Glass (or I guess weapons) is all they checked for.

I'm gonna take a guess that they mean the small plastic toy containers from inside the eggs and not the entire things.

I mean, it's not top tier chocolate but that would seem wasteful to me.

You don't want to spoil the Surprise.

I assumed it was some new way to infuse the drug into your body. Like a story I heard many years ago about girls soaking tampons in vodka to get drunk at school without being caught.

[–] Faydaikin@beehaw.org 1 points 1 month ago

Ohoho, the tampon trick isn't just for girls. It goes up your pooper and isn't very healthy.

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 13 points 1 month ago

The little plastic orange thing inside the kinder eggs that holds the toy. Not the chocolate egg.

Really boys? The condom is much more comfortable.

Boofing K is one thing, but boofing kinder eggs is new to me

[–] zcd@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I could never get the egg in without cracking it :'(

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Because of their refusal an immediate search was conducted 🤣

Kinder Bueno

[–] I_am_10_squirrels@beehaw.org 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So if you refuse to be searched, they just say "welp, you had your chance. Now bend over while big Al gets the gloves. Sorry, we're out of lube."

[–] Emperor 6 points 1 month ago

Pretty much. With the indication from the sniffer dog they have probable cause, so your options boil down to the rough way or the rougher way.

[–] McLoud@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

I wonder who cleans oit those "amnesty bins" at the end of the festival lol.

[–] Dolphinfreetuna@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Sounds like so much work

You can smell how special it is

[–] fubarx@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 month ago

Would love to hear the line of reasoning that led to the intersection of Kinder eggs, drugs, and bums.

[–] linearchaos@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sounds like we're going to need a new warning label....

"Don't let the filth catch you with this up your botty?"

Doesn't seem appropriate for a kiddie treat but they have to learn the lesson eventually.

[–] Emperor 4 points 1 month ago

Pedantry corner: the product is Kinder Eggs, kinder eggs are something else entirely.

[–] BobbyGasoline@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I would have liked to hear to brain storming session that lead to this brilliant plan.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 0 points 1 month ago

You can see it on their faces. Those guys are basically enlightened now

[–] timewarp@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago

That's one way to get someone to finger your butthole
