US Child finds $40,000 in Crystal Meth Inside Toy Box

                                                             "Un Classic" Lego Pieces

A child found 3 pounds (1.3 kilos) of crystal methamphetamine, worth $ 40,000 dollars, inside a toy box in Charleston, South Carolina, in the United States.

Three women, whose names remain anonymous, bought a box of Lego pieces in a Charleston consignment shop and presented it to a child. When the child opened it inside he found a packet of methamphetamine.

After the discovery, the women contacted the Bulloch County Sheriff's Office, whose agents collected the drug and contacted the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) about what happened.

The DEA said that this box could have been bought in a storage auction, and then taken to the store without anyone noticing its contents.

Jim Riggs, a researcher at the sheriff's office, explained that drug dealers often send packages to addresses where there are abandoned or empty properties to be collected clandestinely. However, the United States Postal Service does not usually leave them unless it is with a neighbor. If they do not find anyone, the packages are auctioned.

    1. Street level distribution. Not by the Key/lbs, no whole sale but by the gram. And you also consider the market but the ladder is what makes most of that number.

    2. @6:27, also, proximity to the border factors into the price. Cali is essentially Northern Mexico so the prices are a lot cheaper. Although, Coke is still expensive.
