On the afternoon of July third, Customs Officers at the Queens Bond Customs Warehouse on Caesar Ridge Road intercepted a shipment of suspected cannabis during a routine examination of a box consigned to a logistics company that came from a shipper based in Oklahoma, U.S.A.
One of the bags had a strong scent of marijuana-and when customs officers looked inside they found 1.2 kilos or two and a half pounds of a high grade premium strain of marijuana known as "GMO Cookies."
While that is one thing, what caught their attention was that it was addressed to a customs officer with his name, address and phone number on it.
The Commissioner of Police told us, quote, "The parcels, which bore strain markings, were accompanied by shipping documents identifying the consignee and a shipper based in Oklahoma, U.S.A. The matter remains under active investigation."
When we asked the Compol about the customs officer's name on the package, he said, quote, "I do not want to discuss any investigative step the investigators have taken or are in the process of taking, so as not to compromise the investigation." We'll keep following it.
