Police struck it lucky when they happened to make a big drugs bust while on their dinner break on Black Eye Friday.

Officers in Newton Abbot had just arrived at a fast food restaurant to get some food when a distinctive smell coming from a car nearby caught their attention.

On further investigation they discovered what can only be described as a huge bag of cannabis.

A tweet from Newton Abbot Police said: "We only wanted a burger from a well known fast food restaurant.

"Unfortunately for some reason our noses were drawn to another customer's car in the queue.

"Don't fear we did get our food just three hours later."
