'Huge' Gatwick 'drugs bust' turns out to be vegan cake mix

All was not as it seemed as police carried out what they believed could be a 'huge drugs bust' at Gatwick Airport. With sniffer dogs in tow, British Transport Police descended on the transport hub yesterday (Wednesday, 28), after bags of unlabeled substances were discovered in a suitcase on a train heading toward the airport. Following thorough testing, it was found the powders were in fact vegan cake ingredients.
