Police in Yorkshire have seized edible cannabis that drug dealers had disguised as Christmas chocolates.

The drug-laced sweets were made to look like festive chocolate favourites such as Quality Streets, Celebrations and Aero Minis.

But instead, they were called 'Quality Heat', 'Calibrations' and 'Ammo Minis.' West Yorkshire Police officers found the drugs after they stopped and searched a vehicle on December 17.

The driver of the vehicle was reported for summons for possession of drugs.

A police spokesperson said: "Please be vigilant if you see these, they can contain dangerous amounts of THC and people sometimes do not realise the danger of consuming these items."

Earlier this year, officers in West Yorkshire seized £300,000 worth of edible cannabis that were made to look like children's favourites such as Dairy Milk and Milky Bar.
