thesetat2013 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Gee now what would prompt the driver to leave his truck at the pumps blocking people from getting gas and abandon his truck there? Uhhh! Maybe he learned they would be stopping him down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
issanaus Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I hope for the drivers sake that the police find him/them before the owners of the drugs do. Maybe the person that was supposed to take delivery has recently been arrested? Either way good that this load of human suffering did not find its way to users. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerojero Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 So what happens to all of these captured drugs? Rhetorical question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttthailand Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Why not keep it quiet and try to get the guys. It is possible that someone might come back to try to recover the stash. Undercover work can bring good results. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Robson Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 It's most important to keep drugs stored in a cool dry place! The United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) recommends that medication storage temperatures should be maintained between 15 degrees C and 30 degrees C (59 degrees F to 86 degrees F). Concerns have been raised that storage temperatures in EMS may deviate from this optimal range, predisposing drugs to degradation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the article the Governor arrived before the police even opened the truck. The Governor must have a psychic working for him. Told him there was a big photo opportunity coming up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the article the Governor arrived before the police even opened the truck. The Governor must have a psychic working for him. Told him there was a big photo opportunity coming up. The truck was unlocked and had been there since Tuesday. The is no requirement for the authorities to disclose all information. It maybe the case that the truck was already under surveillance and the police decided to move in as it was causing a problem and starting to draw public attention due to the smell. It is very possible that the Governor had been advised as they are sometimes the channel for the cooperation between the arm and police in such matters. It may well be that we are reading too much into the story (me included) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcisco Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Interesting they simply didn't inspect the registration details and call the owner to move their vehicle. Since the vehicle was unlocked it would not be an obstruction which is difficult to move. Very odd response to a commercial vehicle being left at a petrol station. This story sounds like someone was made to give up something to the BiB or the governor, no one leaves any commodity worth that amount unsecured, especially narcotics.
