Not even smelly Vegemite or Marmite could put sniffer dogs off finding drugs someone was attempting to smuggle into a New Zealand jail, says the NZ Corrections Department.
The cannabis was found during a routine check of all property being posted into the Hawke's Bay Regional Prison.
"The drug dog indicated the presence of drugs in the package and after inspection by staff, the shoes inside were found to contain cannabis concealed within a rubber glove, which was smeared in Vegemite or Marmite," prison manager George Massingham said.
"Our drug dogs are trained to detect certain odours down to parts per trillion, so it takes a bit more than sandwich spread, however strong smelling to fool them," he said.
