A typical Uber Eats delivery in New Jersey took an unexpected turn when a driver discovered that her supposed food order was actually 20 grams of marijuana, deceptively wrapped to resemble a burrito.
The incident, which occurred on a Friday night in Lindenwold, Camden County, has prompted an investigation by Washington Township Police.
The driver, initially expecting a standard delivery of a burrito, soup, and water, became suspicious during her journey to Glassboro. A pungent odour wafting from the bag alerted her to something amiss
Promptly acting on her instincts, the driver pulled over and contacted the authorities. Upon inspection, officers found a tin-foil-wrapped package containing a large zip-closed bag of raw marijuana.
Images released by the police revealed the crude attempt to make the drugs appear as a meal.
Investigators suspect the Uber package delivery feature, which prohibits the transport of illegal substances, alcohol, or medication, was exploited for the transaction.
