A dog owner found 4.4 kilos of hashish in the forest at Mariehem in Umeå. The police exchanged the drugs for wooden cubes and put a span on the scene.
Two men are now charged with drug offences – the prosecutor believes in conviction despite the fact that the drugs have been replaced. "It depends on the time aspect and the other evidence," says prosecutor Anders Norberg. In Vännäs, a man was recently acquitted because the drugs had been replaced by sugar.
