It was like a scene from Hamish MacBeth. Police launched a full-scale drugs raid on a Highland home - but discovered only the 79-year-old owner's tomato plants. Uniformed officers burst into Lulu Matheson's house in the village of Shieldaig, Wester Ross, kept her son Gus in his bedroom for two hours, handcuffed her grandson Stephen, and turned the house upside down. The high-profile afternoon raid involved three squad cars, seven officers and sniffer dogs. They told the family they were looking for cannabis, but after searching for several hours had to concede the green plants visible in the window from the roadside were tomatoes.
Oops
In a high-profile drug bust, Scottish police didn't quite find the pot they were looking for.
