A mum has been caught smuggling tiny bags of cannabis inside cookies for her jailbird son.
The woman told prison guards that she was dropping off some freshly-made treats for her boy – but they suspected something was amiss.
And during a routine inspection, they decided to inspect the produce.

When they cracked the first cookie open, a small bag of marijuana allegedly popped out.
And after opening every cookie, officers found seven packages of a substance believed to be cannabis, as reported by Need To Know.
Another 35 contained rolling tobacco, allegedly so the inmate could smoke cannabis cigarettes on the prison grounds in secret.
The mother was arrested at the facility in Janaúba, located north of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, last Wednesday (16 Apr).
The materials were seized, and the suspect was taken to a Civil Police station for processing.
The Secretariat of Justice and Public Security of Minas Gerais later confirmed that the alleged drugs were intended for her son, an inmate at the facility.
As well as facing possible drug charges, the mother’s visitation rights have been suspended as the investigation continues.
