Strawberry Meth Induces Paronoia In Oxfordshire
STRAWBERRY Meth is on the loose.
It’s not Cheese. But it looks a bit like Cake.
Police in west Oxfordshire have sent an e-mail warning to local schools. It is being sold at school gates.
Some schools are holding special assemblies to warn the kids to stay off the Strawbs.
Says Chief Inspector Dennis Evernden, of Thames Valley Police: “We would like to apologise for any unnecessary concern that we may have caused to schools or parents by sending this warning out about a drug that proved to be a hoax.
“One of our officers, who is new to his post, received the e-mail internally in good faith and forwarded it on to the schools in West Oxfordshire to warn them.
“But after checking its veracity, it was found to be a hoax and a retraction was issued the next day. The officer should have double checked before taking this action, which he did take with the best intentions, and we will be making sure this sort of thing does not happen again.”
In the meanwhile, avoid inhaling strawberries, lest you freak out…
