Dudley DoNark Gets Robbed Of
Marijuana
(Marijuananews note: Although this sounds like a
publicity stunt for the new Brendan Fraser movie, it actually happened. It is interesting
that it is getting such extensive coverage from the prohibitionist Edmonton paper, which
is located in British Columbia’s neighboring Alberta province. Notice the tone.)

MARIJUANA STOLEN FROM COP STATION
KELOWNA, B.C. -- Brazen thieves broke into a local RCMP compound
and stole
several bushels of marijuana seized in a drug raid earlier in the day.
The stunning late-night theft of 250 pot plants from the detachment happened two weeks
ago, but was not revealed by red-faced Mounties.
"Obviously, embarrassed is one word you could use to describe how we feel,"
Kelowna RCMP Const. Garth Letcher said.
"Clearly, we didn't have the kind of security we should have had to prevent this
type of theft from occurring."
No one has been arrested in connection with the Aug. 9 theft at the downtown police
station.
Some of the stolen pot has been re-sold on city streets and the
thieves are being hailed as folklore heroes by those involved in Kelowna's drug trade.
(Marijuananews note: Those involved in the "drug trade?" Well, as I said the
Sun is a prohibitionist paper. Al Capone was cheered at Chicago baseball games. Were all
of the people there in the "booze trade?" No, they hailed the gangster because
he was seen as preferable to the corrupt hypocrites who ran the country.)
"Imagine having the balls to go steal dope right from the cops - that's
awesome!" said a man who'd heard of the audacious theft from drug dealers in a
local park.
The marijuana had been confiscated on the morning of the theft during a police raid on
a house.
As with all marijuana seizures, it was stored outside the police detachment in a small
open-air compound protected by two chain link fences. One fence had razor wire at the top,
but the other did not. It appears the thieves simply jumped into the compound from the
roof of the adjacent Kelowna Community Theatre or from the police station itself.
Then they hoisted out five garbage bags filled with the crushed-up plants.
None of the officers on shift in the station that night noticed anything unusual,
police said.
The drug compound cannot be seen by security cameras and it wasn't protected by motion
sensors or alarms.
The theft was discovered the next morning by officers who arrived at the compound to
take the marijuana away for destruction.
Police say each pot plant had a potential street value of as much as $1,000.
(Marijuananews note: This is around $650 DEAland, which seems very
cheap for the fabulous BC super bud that is supposedly traded pound for pound for cocaine,
at least when George Bush is around.)
