Police find 2 kilogram garden gnome made entirely of MDMA

“We know that drugs come in many shapes and sizes, but every now and again we come across something extraordinary,” the Dongemond police said about finding a garden gnome made entirely of MDMA. “The gnome himself was visibly shocked by it.”

The Dongemond police found the gnome among a large batch of drugs seized in the area. Because the little statue weighed nearly 2 kilograms, investigators decided to get it tested. They found that the little statue was made entirely of MDMA.

The police didn’t say exactly where and when the drug bust was made. The Dongemond police base team covers the municipalities of Oosterhout, Geertrudenberg, Drimmelen, and Altena.
