CCTV reportedly picked up the suspect in Gritley Mews in Nottinghamshire, leading police and the Covid-19 team to have a closer look.
Officers stopped the suspect and searched his bag, which contained a large amount of cannabis.
The suspect’s excuse is one that police have reportedly heard more than once: “I’m buying in bulk because you can’t get out because of the lockdown.”
The suspect was nevertheless arrested on suspicion with intent to supply.
