Cops seize nearly $1M worth of weed in West Village after finding crate labeled 'art'

[Sforza]

"Cops seized as much as $1 million worth of California bud in broad daylight in the West Village Friday after finding that a crate craftily labeled "art" actually contained drugs, law enforcement sources said.

Police from the Manhattan North Narcotics unit intercepted the whopping 300 pounds of marijuana after watching three men unload the faux art package from a commercial delivery truck in front of 144 Bleecker St. at 1:20 p.m."

Spent a little time in the Village back in the 1970's. Remember Bleecker, Hudson, and Houston streets as cool places back then.

They should mandate that the cops smoke some of that pot, and take some yoga classes.

Might chill them out.

If that's a million dollars worth then I guess that semi that got busted a while back was worth what, $10 billion?

"Cops, acting on a tip, had been monitoring the location...."

 

[theJointedOne]

Yup

Someone spoke

 

[Pinball Wizard]

that's resistant of trade ..Cali needs the money

 

[CosmicCharlie]

The small packages are probably shatter or wax, seeing as how it's a shipment of herb.

They probably tipped that small shipment off so the semi load could get through...

Another 300 lbs found in Brooklyn.
