NSW police have arrested a 34-year-old woman on suspicion of fraud after she attempted to take the idea of a repeat prescription to a new level.
When the woman confidently presented the script for OxyNorm at a pharmacy in the regional township of Parkes, sharp-eyed staff noticed it had previously been filled and alerted police.
Further enquires revealed it was not even the second time the prescription had been presented to a dispensary, with the woman seemingly seeking to have the script filled at multiple other pharmacies, the Parkes Champion-Post reported.
Security staff at London's Gatwick Airport are licking their wounds (and perhaps their fingers) after seizing 25 bags of suspicious white powder.
Initially billed as a "huge drugs bust," after testing the powder was ultimately found to be cake ingredients for a vegan bakery.
British Transport Police issued a tweet about the incident, saying the powder was "soon reunited with the owner who has promised officers and staff a slice of cake in return".
The traveller was transporting the ingredients for his employer, Purezza Vegan Pizzeria when he was stopped by officers.
The restaurant, which has stores in London and Brighton, tweeted "Thanks for going easy on us guys! A slab of cake all round is in order when you're next in Brighton".
