A Colorado resident randomly received an edible stash at their doorstep, prompting them to call law enforcement, USA Today reports. According to the local police department, officers responded to a home in Lakewood, about 8 miles from Denver, on Monday after receiving a report of fraud. Police said the victim informed them that their UPS account had been hacked and was being used "to ship large packages."
Similar large packages have been reported in other states. In May, authorities in Arkansas stopped a package that contained 10 pounds of weed from being shipped to a residence in Paragould, KAIT reported. They decided to leave it on the suspect's front porch, and after the suspect put it in his car, he was arrested. Agents found firearms and other drug paraphernalia when they searched his car and home, according to the report. Last September, a police department in North Carolina was given a package that was supposed to be delivered to a home, WITN reported. It also contained 10 pounds of marijuana. In a post online, the department urged the individual " who thought it was a good idea to utilize UPS to mail your 10 pounds & 4oz of marijuana” to pick it up from the station, per the outlet.
