They’re apparently hiding drugs inside plumbing material now:
(CNN) — Large quantities of drugs were found inside merchandise from at least two Home Depot stores in Massachusetts, and authorities are investigating, police said Wednesday.
A contractor late last week discovered two 50-pound “bricks” of marijuana wrapped in plastic bags inside a bathroom vanity he had purchased at a Home Depot store in Tewksbury, said Chief of Detectives Lt. Dennis Peterson.
The estimated street value of the marijuana is around $145,000, Peterson said.
Similar incidents have occurred in other parts of the state.
A plumber purchased a vanity in western Massachusetts on Monday in which he later found 3 kilograms of cocaine and around 40 pounds of marijuana, with a total estimated street value of $250,000, according to the Southwick Police Department.
Southwick Police Lt. David A. Ricardi said the item was purchased at “a local hardware store” but would not confirm it came from The Home Depot.
According to Peterson, a third individual discovered large quantities of illegal drugs inside Home Depot merchandise.
How long before the Feds start regulating bathroom fixtures ? Oh wait, they already are.
