Cocaine Ring Turned Stuffed Minions Into Drug Mules
A drug ring under investigation by police allegedly shipped its product along with stuffed Pixar and Disney toys.
Police busted up an alleged drug ring in New York City this month — one they say liked to move their cocaine wrapped up like children's birthday gifts alongside stuffed Minions and Frozen toys.
Photos released by the NYC Office of the Special Narcotics Prosecutor (via Gothamist) show the evidence.
Harlem resident Albert Fortosa, 24, is accused of accepting a package that contained kilos of coke wrapped like presents. Prosecutors have singled him out as a big shot in the operation after they say police intercepted five packages of cocaine on their way to him from Puerto Rico, total street value $225,000.
Via Gothamist:
Some criminals just aren't as smart as Catherine Zeta Jones in Traffic. She molded the toys out of cocaine. Which, apparently, was based on a real thing from the early 90s, which was a common occurrence by the end of the last decade.
