Salford police read between the lines
Police in Salford have returned overdue library books following on from a drugs warrant.

On Friday 20 January, police executed a drugs warrant in Broughton Park and as well as discovering a small cannabis farm, they found some overdue library books.

The Salford East Neighbourhood Policing Team has since returned the books to the Manager at Higher Broughton Library.

Sergeant Tom Martin said: “We come across some strange things when executing warrants but no matter what the value is, we’ll always try and return them to their rightful owner.

“In this particular instance we were able to take some overdue books back to a library, which benefits the whole of the community.”

I had to read this twice, so the police raid the house take away the cannabis, seize their library books and return them for the miscreant? any chance of letting us know the books title's and how much was overdue? Hope they checked the telly licence and water rates, and fed any pets just in case, some right wrong 'uns out there, you know. Unbelivable.
