A man has been arrested in Germany after police found an advent calendar boasting marijuana behind each window.

Officers went to the 21-year-old's Munich home to check his driving license and allowed their drug-detecting dog Lucky to search the premises after noticing a small amount of marijuana on the kitchen table, AFP reports.

Police said in a statement yesterday: "Behind every little door [on the calendar] was a small amount of cannabis in a matchbox, wrapped up in a colourful bow. He said he had been given the calendar as a present."

The man has since been released but could reportedly face charges of possessing drugs.
