An Ohio man ordered a gun safe online and when it was delivered he got a big surprise. When the man opened his new safe he discovered $425,000-worth of tightly wrapped marijuana bricks inside. He immediately called the police.
"I've been in law enforcement for 47 years and I've never seen anything like this," Shelby County, Ohio, Sheriff John L. Lenhart said. "It's quite effective if you think about it: wrapped airtight to withstand high temperatures. Drug-sniffing dogs probably couldn't smell it."
Police said the gun safe was manufactured by Champion Safe Co. in Nogales, Mexico, local inmates pack them and than they are shipped north.
"Someplace between Mexico and the warehouse in Northern Ohio, the drugs got mixed up and put in the wrong safe and got delivered to the wrong person," Sheriff said.
Champion Safe Co. told police they hired Conway Inc. to move the 30 gun safes to a warehouse in Ohio. Authorities haven’t had any luck finding the driver to question him.
"Not only are we looking for him," Lenhart said, "but the bad guys are, too."
The driver could be in trouble by messing up the shipment, police said.
"You just spent $1,700 to get marijuana delivered wherever you want," said Shelby County Chief Deputy Jim Frye. "That's pretty cheap."
