'Get your delivery': QR code stickers advertising sale of cannabis are spotted on school route
Stickers brazenly advertising the sale of Class B drugs through QR codes have been plastered around a town centre.
The stickers feature a black and gold leaf design accompanied by the slogan "get your delivery", promoting the sale of cannabis.
They have been spotted on lampposts and drainpipes around the centre of Sutton Coldfield, with some located just a short walk from the police station and nearby schools.
Councillor David Pears, who represents the Sutton Trinity ward, is hoping to work with police to tackle the issue.
Councillor Pears said: "The issue that we have got is that there is a lot of young people who go into the town centre, and the one thing we don't want is for people to be tempted to participate in taking drugs. We have to deter people from doing that.
"It also might encourage other drug users or sellers of drugs to come into the town and we don't want that either. The stickers themselves become litter if they are on lampposts and places – it detracts from the character of the area.
