And finally… the French connection

A French cannabis dealer was arrested after distributing leaflets with his personal contact details and a half gramme sample of the drug stuck down with tape on each flyer.

The 32-year-old from Lyon made sure his identity was clear by including his name and phone number Dauphiné Libéré reported.

He even included a special offer of “free delivery on orders over 100 euros”.

However, his campaign came to an end after he handed a flyer to a man who promptly took it to a police station.

Officers discovered 102 grammes of the drug as well as a cache of flyers in his home.

He defended himself saying he was simply looking for new friends to smoke the drug with.
