Ahead of the Creamfields music festival, police conducted a search of the site and uncovered a quantity of illegal substances, specifically ecstasy and ketamine, that had been buried in the ground. The discovery was made as part of routine security preparations to ensure the safety of attendees and to prevent the distribution of illicit drugs during the event.

In a move that has drawn attention for its unusual nature, the local police force issued a public statement regarding the find. They jokingly suggested that anyone who had buried the drugs and wished to retrieve them should contact the authorities. While the statement was framed with a sense of irony, it serves as a reminder of the strict enforcement policies in place at large-scale music festivals. The police have not provided further details on whether they are actively pursuing suspects or if the recovery was part of a larger sting operation. No arrests have been reported in connection with the buried stash at this time.
