Mum finds bag of ‘crystal meth’ in box of cereal as she makes breakfast for kids
A MUM who went to pour out breakfast cereal for her children found a stash of drugs in the box.
Haisam Nassir, 25, discovered the plastic bag of white crystals in a packet of Golden Morn maize flakes.
She investigated online and reckoned the contents must be methamphetamine, better known as crystal meth — the highly addictive clubbers’ drug featured in hit drama series Breaking Bad.
The mum of four took the bag to police, who confirmed it was the Class A drug.
Haisam, of Dagenham, East London, said: “Imagine if that had burst, it could’ve had a deadly impact.”
It is estimated that the bag contained about 450g — and was worth about £90,000.
Haisam, whose children are three, two and one-year-old twins, said they ate from the box in days before the bag emerged.
They were given the all-clear after hospital checks.
Cereal maker Nestlé said an investigation found the drug bag was inserted after the product left Nigeria, where it was made.
Police were asked for comment.
