"We recovered the package which upon examination contained 42 wraps of crack cocaine.
"If you are the loser and would like to claim it we would be happy to speak with you...that would be formally under caution and we will be providing free bed and breakfast along with free transport to court."
He added: “Clearly had the drugs been picked up by a child or younger adult who were not aware of what harm these drugs cause, the result could have been very serious and I thank the honest member of the public who did the right thing in handing them in to the police.
