Rats, they ate all the weed.
That’s what police in Uttar Pradesh state in India might have said after discovering rats obliterated 195 kilograms of cannabis which officers had seized from dealers.
The cannabis was stored in police stations and Judge Sanjay Chaudhary said in an order that when the court asked the police to produce the seized drug as evidence, it was told that 195 kilograms of cannabis had been “destroyed” by rats, according to BBC.
And another nearly 400 kilos was destroyed by rats at another station.
Chaudhary said some 700 kilograms of seized weed was lying in police stations in Mathura district, and “all of it was under danger of infestation by rats.”
He said the police had no expertise in dealing with the matter, as the rats were “too small.”
The only way to protect the seized goods from “such fearless mice,” he added, was to auction the drugs to research labs and medicine firms, with the proceeds going to the government.
