DISPENSARY CORNER 19 Jan 16
January 19, 2016
DRUG traffickers need to be
creative these days and as we
know, boogie board covers just
aren’t inconspicuous enough to
get marijuana over international
boarders anymore.
Enter carrots. Some drug
smugglers thought outside the
box, attempting to hide more
than 1,100 kilograms of marijuana
inside a fictitious carrot shipment
from Mexico to the US.
The orange packages stuffed
with weed and wrapped to
resemble large carrots were
hidden in bags of actual carrots by
the criminals.
It might have looked innocent
enough, but the sniffer dogs
couldn’t be fooled during a search
near the US border with Mexico in
southeastern Texas.
HAVE you ever done a spot of
online shopping only to receive
the wrong package in the post?
Well, there’s a guy in Bristol who
knows a thing or two about that:
He ordered a Kindle ebook reader
and got send a patient’s tumour
sample instead.
The package which ended
up on James Potten’s doorstep
was intended for the Royal Free
Hospital in London.
James didn’t open the sealed
box which said “patient tissue”
and FedEx has apologised and
picked up the tumour sample.
He’s still waiting on the Kindle.
“I don’t know where my Kindle
is, but if it is at the Royal Free I’d
be happy to do an exchange,”
James said.
