Dutch police find gnome made of MDMA during drug bust

Police said the "gnome himself was visibly shocked" by the tactic

Officers in the southern Netherlands have found a garden gnome weighing nearly 2kg (4lb) and made of the drug MDMA.

"Drugs appear in many shapes and sizes, but every now and then we come across special things," Dongemond Police said in a translated social media post.

The gnome was found among suspected narcotics during a large drug search.

"In itself a strange place to keep your garden gnome," the force said. "That's why we decided to test [it] for narcotics".

> The gnome himself was visibly startled,” police said, referring to the gnome having its hands covering its mouth.

The Dutch have a sense of humor, that’s hilarious.

This is the random shit that I wish I could bring through a time machine. Let's head back to ancient mesopotamioa and get people to lick the magic gnome and have a spiritual experience, just to see what religions it managed to spawn a few thousand years later
