Dog finds bag jammed with thousands of pounds, and that's not all
The black satchel had over £2,000 inside While most dogs return from a snuffle in the undergrowth with a stick or having rolled in something they shouldn't, Scout found something much more intriguing. Rather than retrieving something unwanted, the brown-haired spaniel, came back with £2,200 in cash and 97g of cannabis after rummaging around in the Pentwyn area of Cardiff. Both the large wad of notes and green plastic bags of cannabis were being stored in a satchel bag which was hidden by undergrowth. The discovery comes in the same week where five deal-sized bags of Class A drugs were also discovered in undergrowth in Pentwyn. South Wales Police wrote on social media: "Ok, ok, it was us who let the dogs out... on this occasion PD Scout. "Following information received around drug dealing in the #Pentwyn area, proactive patrols have been - and will continue to be - carried out around hot spot locations. "During a recent search, PD Scout alerted to a satchel bag concealed in undergrowth - this bag containing over £2,200 in cash and 97g of cannabis. "Earlier in the week, five deal-size bags of believed Class A drugs were also recovered after being hidden amongst undergrowth. All have now been taken off the streets of Pentwyn. "We can, and as shown here, regularly act upon the information provided to us by the public, so please keep it coming and continue to work with us." More than 300 impressed dog owners flocked to the comments section on the Facebook post. One wrote: "My spaniels have never found anything on a walk except for fox poo and bread! Well done Scout." Someone else commented, "Why do I never find 2k in a bush?", and another joked: "Money does grow on trees! My mam lied to me!!"

Sniffer dog finds bag jammed with thousands of pounds and cannabis on walk
A dog snuffle in the underbrush, by Scout, a sandy spaniel, unearthed a stash with £2,200 in cash, coupled with a 97g haul of cannabis. It was hidden under foliage in Cardiff's Pentwyn area. The pooch sniffed out the illicit substances stowed away in a satchel bag well-masked by greenery. The surprise retrieval coincides with the find of five deal-sized bags of suspected Class A drugs found elsewhere in the same neighbourhood that week. South Wales Police disclosed its partnership with police dog Scout via social media after community tips regarding drug deals in Pentwyn prompted dedicated patrols.
