Police ask owner of 50-pound pot package to come forward

Does anybody really think that the 50 pounds of marijuana is going to remain in the police evidence locker?

Photos of the bags of marijuana were shared on social media and the police say they are patiently waiting for the weed’s rightful owners to come and claim the bags.

PIX 11 reports that lots and lots of marijuana was mistakenly shipped to the wrong address.

In all, at least 31 bags of pot were found outside a Hazlet home, near Middletown, on Tuesday, with the shipment addressed to someone who didn’t live at the residence, police said. “In the meantime our detectives will be working with county, state, and federal law enforcement agencies to locate the owner of this property”. They estimated it is worth around £65,000.

Just the other day, a homeowner in the township of Hazlet in New Jersey happened to receive several mysterious packages in the mail. If you’re caught distributing more than 25 pounds, you could get sent to prison for 10 to 20 years. So perhaps not surprisingly, nobody has come by the station to pick up all that pot.
