Police in the US are searching for a man accused of hiding plastic eggs filled with cannabis in parks as part of an Easter scavenger hunt.

Avante Nicholson allegedly placed five drug-laden eggs in various spots across three parks – often used by families – and behind a nearby motel in Lufkin, Texas on Easter Sunday.

He then posted a series of photos and clues on Facebook as a hint to their whereabouts.
