Scottish widow, not white widow
0 commentsPolice raided the highland cottage of a 79-year-old widow after a tip off that she had been growing Cannabis in a window box of her cottage.
Officers barged into the home of Lulu Matheson with sniffer dogs and took samples of the plants back to the station for analysis, although they may find nothing more than the common tomato plant.
Her son Gus was looking out of the window when he saw the police cars arrive and when he opened the door to find out what all the fuss was about they barged through him, stating he had been growing pot in the window box.
He said: "I wondered what on earth was going on. I opened the door and they more or less barged past, saying that I was growing cannabis on the windowsills.
"I started laughing because I knew they were tomato plants but it wasn't so funny when they frisked me and then started tearing the house apart."
The Mathesons have since filed a formal complaint against the Northern Constabulary about the way that they were treated.
A police spokesman rather sheepishly said: "We can confirm that, acting on information, we attended at an address in the Shieldaig area. No drugs were found as a result of the search."
