A lost wallet handed into cops had ID in it – but was also full of drugs.

One good Samaritan’s deed may have landed the owner in hot water after cops made a shock discovery.

Inside the wallet was a bag of white powder, a plastic straw, a cut up bank card and two empty bags.

Baffled officers have branded the items a drug ‘starter kit’.

The owner of the wallet ID was also found tucked away inside.

Police in Paignton, Devon, have now encouraged the suspect to come and retrieve the item with a comedic offer.

Cops have offered a ‘5 star’ overnight stay in their ‘secure accommodation’, where all meals are provided.

With wake up calls at unexpected times, with the stay rounded off by a ‘day trip’ to court.

The wallet was found at the bus station in the town, as reported by Need To Know.

“All meals provided, freshly prepared.

“Wake-up calls at times you may not expect and, as an added bonus, a day trip to court to round off your stay.”
