Nothing would seem suspicious about a 17 year old lugging around a few bags of cookies, but to the sharp eyes of Benque Viejo police, something seemed off.
And that's why yesterday afternoon at 1:00 they searched the minor's knapsack and duffel bag. Inside they found 8 bags marked "cookies". When they looked inside - each had half a kilo of cannabis - for a total of almost ten pounds. He also carried a small box containing with thirty live rounds of 5.56 live ammunition - the kind used in assault rifles.
The minor I held pending charges for Kept ammunition without a gun license, and Possession of Controlled Drugs with Intent to Supply.
The items are believed to have come across from Guatemala.
