most of the parcels were sent to the south where they have tourist beaches! did he really say that or did the police jst add that in at the end 555 those pesky tourists causing trouble again . . .

Very ballsy.
Got lazy on deliveries and decided to go postal. I wonder whether they attempted to disguise their packages with coffee or something or just assumed the lazy postal workers wouldn't suspect anything?

They should've opened a coffee company first.

Bugger, i will never use DHL,or UPS again.

  Did they use EMS?

 

Time to legalise this product. 

 

The tax revenues would be very decent indeed.

Did they give up the address book? A few more arrests imminent, perhaps.
