Kmart Pot Mix-up Gets 3 Arrested

Filed Under: News
Pot for Less!

Looks like Philadelphia police turned a simple mailing mistake into a decent sized drug bust. At Kmart, employees noticed a box that didn’t quite fit in with the surrounding products. What was in it? Only 25 lbs. worth of pot. That’s an estimated street value of over $100,000.

So, these watchful employees call the police and the police put in motion a nice little sting operation. The package in question was delivered to its original destination, as intended. Agnes Ortiz, not aware of the mailing mix-up, received it. Then a woman, Renee Garcia, picked up the package and took it to another house down the street.

The police showed up to bust the house. Inside, they found the original 25 lbs. of weed and then cocaine, PCP, heroin, packaging paraphernalia and US currency. Crazy.

Ortiz, Garcia and a 15 year old boy were arrested on charges of possession and intent to distribute. Sounds like a job well done by the Philly police.
