A woman told a police officer she broke lockdown and did not follow social distancing instructions so she could buy enough cannabis “to last a week”.
Wirral Police said the woman was approached after she appeared to be acting suspiciously on Wednesday evening.

But Sgt McKeon also had to seize a large bag of cannabis from someone not adhering to the guidelines.
