Update:

They stopped pulling brick weed out of the tanker because they found a possible explosive device. The bomb squad is on the way. So far several tons have been recovered.

Ka-BOOM! Brick weed and cop parts everywhere.

Tell me some jackass didn't give up the train load to get out of a DWI


I need to read the story

from http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lan...s-of-marijuana-recovered-from-oil-tanker.html

A trail of sticky black grease led police to an oil tanker in East Los Angeles that was hiding a stash of marijuana bundles weighing in at up to 50 pounds each, authorities said Monday.The incident began Sunday night when Los Angeles Police Department officers attempted to stop a speeding vehicle near the train tracks around Union Pacific Avenue. The three suspects sped off and got away, prompting officers to set up a perimeter, authorities said.When the suspects were found, officers noticed an oily substance on their pants. The same gunk was on several bundles of marijuana found in their vehicle."So the officers start looking around, and they find an oil tanker," LAPD Det. Gus Villanueva said. The grease coated the railroad car, which was parked near the tracks around Union Pacific Avenue and Eastman Avenue. As of noon Monday, the Los Angeles Fire Department had recovered 38 additional bundles of marijuana from the tanker.Authorities say there is more marijuana, but they had to take a break from searching the tanker because a suspicious object was found and the bomb squad was called in.Villanueva said it was unclear whether the suspects were stashing the drugs in the tanker after the pursuit or if they were recovering a cache stored there.A dollar value on the marijuana was not available, but police said there were dozens of bundles.

apparently there was no snitching? they were stealing?

joefresh is right - somebodys days are numbered

Im interested as to whether its a theft issue, or somebody is snitching

Given the cop's cover story that they pulled guys involved over for 'drunk driving' then found the tanker because of 'a trail of grease', I'd say it's pretty high likelihood that somebody snitched, info wasn't enough for a warrant, so the cops sat on the scene, came up with an excuse to pull these guys over, then the bust went down.

I would at least hope that somebody moving tanker loads would have more professional people working for him than those who would drive drunk on this level of pick up/delivery.

The only rational reason I can think of, for transporting that much chronic in an oil tanker, is to cover the odour.

Other than that why not use a box car???

Again thats much less cess on the street.

They probably wasnt looking in the oil tankers.
