Two men were found with kinder eggs filled with drugs up their bums as they tried to get into Creamfields. Marshall Maddock and Harry Hewitson were about to enter the north gate of the festival site before a drugs dog indicated to police that the pair may have illegal drugs.

When both were taken to a nearby area to be searched by officers, Maddock handed over a small quantity of drugs but refused to be searched further. Because of his refusal, an intimate search was conducted where officers found a kinder egg containing 10 bags of ketamine in his anus.

Hewitson also refused to be searched, claiming he didn't have any drugs, but when officers searched him he was also found to have a kinder egg with 10 bags of ketamine inside hidden in his anus. Appearing at Chester Crown Court, on Friday, October 4, the pair were handed sentences totalling 36 months in prison.

Maybe I'm an ignorant about these things, but wouldn't a kinder egg melt in there?

I think, they've put the ketamine into the plastic shells which are inside the Kinder chocolate eggs and used those, not the chocolate egg shells.

Ah ok. Seems pretty risky. Also kind of surprised that getting caught with some drugs at a music festival means a cavity search.

Exactly what I was thinking, at ATG all that happens is you get asked if you have any glass, they don't even search you.

That's my experience as well. Glass (or I guess weapons) is all they checked for.
