Million Dollar Drug Bust at New Car Dealership
News reports indicate that police seized 120 pounds of marijuana worth $1.6 Million at a Honda/Volkswagen dealership in Maryland.
What makes this drug bust interesting is that the dealership was being used as a shipping point for delivery packages - in this case two 60 pound boxes. An employee at the dealership was being paid $100 per delivery if he would simply accept the shipment and then call his contact and advise him that he could pick the packages up. Here's a link to the news report: http://www.gazette.net/stories/09112...06_32471.shtml I guess that if you're going to ship illegal drugs via UPS/FedEx using a dealership as the drop point makes sense. With the large number of items being shipped and received by the parts department the extra packages wouldn't attract any attention. I guess it's just one more problem for Dealers/GMs to worry about. |
