While most dogs return from a snuffle in the undergrowth with a stick or having rolled in something they shouldn’t, Scout found something much more intriguing.<\/p>\n

Rather than retrieving something unwanted, the brown-haired spaniel, came back with \u00a32,200 in cash and 97g of cannabis after rummaging around in the Pentwyn area of Cardiff<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Both the large wad of notes and green plastic bags of cannabis were being stored in a satchel bag which was hidden by undergrowth. The discovery comes in the same week where five deal-sized bags of Class A drugs were also discovered in undergrowth in Pentwyn.<\/p>\n

South Wales Police<\/a> was conducting a search of the area with police dog Scout after reports of drug dealing in the Pentwyn area. Never miss a Cardiff story by <\/strong>signing up to our daily newsletter here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

One wrote: “My spaniels have never found anything on a walk except for fox poo and bread! Well done Scout.”<\/p>\n

Someone else commented, “Why do I never find 2k in a bush?”, and another joked: “Money does grow on trees! My mam lied to me!!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The black satchel had over \u00a32,000 inside 19:10, 28 May 2025Updated 06:35, 29 May 2025 The bag was…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":140959,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,4],"tags":[12502,12,24601,14884,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-140958","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-uk","8":"category-united-kingdom","9":"tag-cardiff","10":"tag-news","11":"tag-pentwyn","12":"tag-south-wales-police","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114590237010328345","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140958","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=140958"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140958\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/140959"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=140958"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=140958"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=140958"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
