UK: Cannabis worth thousands left at Oxfam shop - Bag shock for volunteers
The Sun Friday 20 Apr 2012 comment on this story 37 comments Related Stories The anonymous donation was forwarded on to the charity's depot and staff there alerted police. Lorraine Needham-Brinley, production manager at the depot, said: "Staff were suspicious because of a very pungent smell and when they opened this bag they found a big stash of cannabis wrapped in a large bath sheet. "What was surprising was that it was so fresh it must have been picked off the plant that morning. "We have no idea where the cannabis has come from and the police said while it wasn’t the best quality it was still worth thousands. "The volunteers at the shop who received it probably smelled it and just decided to send it straight on without opening it." Staff put the haul in Ms Needham-Brinley's office until police arrived but the smell left her reeling. "It gave me such a bad headache I had to seal it up," she added. The Oxfam Wastesaver depot in Huddersfield, West Yorks, sorts clothing donated to all Oxfam shops across the country. A police spokesman said the drugs had been seized and destroyed. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4267513/Cannabis-worth-thousands-left-at-Oxfam-shop.html
