Owner of 50 pounds of marijuana posted to wrong address urged to come forward by police

The owner of a 50 pounds of marijuana who posted it to the wrong address has been urged to come forward and collect their illegal haul by a US police force.

Officers from the Hazlet Township Police Department on the northern coast of New Jersey were alerted to the cache of Cannabis when a resident phoned them and told them it was addressed to someone who didn’t live at their home.

“Officers opened the packages and found they contained approximately 50 pounds of marijuana,” the force said on their Facebook page. They estimated it is worth around £65,000.

In a bid to discover the person who was meant to receive the marijuana the force has called in state and federal agencies.

But in the meantime they said: "If you were expecting these packages and would like to claim them, please come to Police Headquarters.”
