A Bedworth woman has been arrested for allegedly importing 2kg of magic mushrooms into the UK. Border Force officials intercepted the illegal Class A mushrooms last week.
On Tuesday (September 25), officers from the Warwickshire Police Patrol Investigation Team arrested the suspected recipient of the parcel - a woman from Bedworth. The 45-year-old, who has not been identified, was arrested on suspicion of importing a controlled drug.
She was taken into custody for questioning and has since been released under investigation while enquiries continue. PC Dawid Lach said: “Magic mushrooms are illegal and if you import them, you potentially face the same sanctions as people importing other types of drugs. There’s no excuses.
"This case should act as a warning to others looking to import them that there are people looking out for them and police will take action."
