The drugs were found in a white Audi A3.
A businessman tried to smuggle thousands of pounds worth of drugs into Leeds Festival but was caught out by eagle-eyed security officers.
A backpack was found in the car and was revealed to contain a quantity of cannabis resin and skunk. Five MDMA tablets were also found. It was said the drugs were estimated to have a value of £2,645. Qureshi said he did not know who the bag belonged to and said to staff he was the "boss" of Night Patrol Security Company.
"When he was re-interviewed about the evidence, he said he had seen the bag in the boot and he rummaged around to see what was in there and realised it was drugs but because he was tired, it was late and he needed to be up early the next day he decided to leave it in the boot to deal with it when he woke up. When he woke up he needed to deal with his employees and decided to deal with them first before he had had a chance to deal with the bag.
