In Stockton, two individuals were arrested after police intercepted a drug package, highlighting a concerning trend of vulnerable people being exploited.
Stockton: Recently, police made two arrests after intercepting a suspicious package thought to contain drugs. It’s a pretty serious situation, and it’s got everyone talking.
Officers got a tip from Border Force about a package headed to a home in Roseworth. When they showed up, they found a 36-year-old woman and took her in for questioning.
While they were there, they also arrested a 43-year-old man on suspicion of being involved in drug supply. Both were taken into custody, and the investigation is still ongoing.
What’s really concerning is that police are seeing a trend where criminals are paying vulnerable people to receive these illegal packages. Inspector Andrew Vickers mentioned that these folks are often promised that nothing will go wrong, but that’s just not true.
He stressed that the police work closely with Border Force to catch these illegal shipments before they reach their destination. It’s a big deal because possession and importation of drugs can lead to serious legal trouble.
So, if you notice anything suspicious in your neighborhood, don’t hesitate to reach out to the police. They’re there to help keep the community safe.
