Police left an amusing note saying “sorry we missed each other” after digging up a cannabis plantation.

Thames Valley Police received a tip off about drugs in woodland near Oxford last week.

Police left a note.

“Ooops! Sorry we missed each other, but feel free to call me on 101 so we can discuss a deal. Lots of love, TVP xx.”

They posted a picture of the note on Twitter and added a hashtag, “We’veGotManners”.

The cannabis plantation was found between a motorway and Wolvercote Mill Stream.

Police said the drugs were “seized and destroyed”.
