Officers inspected the package the man had brought and opened up the butties inside it.

They were baffled when they spotted a round, white object about the size of a meatball inside one of the snacks.

It was pressed into a baguette half smothered in a sauce that looks like mustard or mayo.

They inspected the suspicious item and observed that it was a white substance wrapped in a nylon bag.

They performed biological tests on the substance, revealing it to be 3.1g of cocaine.
