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.

    That’s because he’s not a fucking snitch.

      I’m middle aged and I’d still lick it every 6 weeks or so. Just long enough in-between licks to make sure my brain doesn’t get fried.

    They were seriously too dumb to put it on a shelf. Jesus.

    You aren’t supposed to eat the whole gnome in one sitting. It’s like a salt lamp that you just lick every now and then.

    Common, just give the gnome a lick. He won’t bite.
