Bags of cannabis were allegedly sold at a corner shop like 'packets of crisps' with the only stock in the storeroom 'containers of drugs', police have said.
When police, immigration enforcement and trading standards officers visited Topshop, Hurst Street, Bury, on April 20 they noticed a 'pungent smell of cannabis'.
Within minutes the enforcement team found two plastic containers in the store-room of the shop which allegedly contained 75 snap bags containing cannabis bush and 11 snap bags of cannabis resin.
Details of the find have been published by Bury Council as part of an urgent licence review of the premises. A report by police licensing officer PC Peter Eccleston, who was present during the visit, said: "Although the premises has a licence to sell alcohol, it was apparent that the store had not sold alcohol for some time with no stock on the shelves or in the storeroom.

PC Eccleston added that the premises had no CCTV and no refusals book could be found.
