GREEN BAY, Wis. — A Green Bay woman opened a Christmas present from her children to find a refurbished vacuum — and a load of drugs.
Authorities say the woman found 2 pounds of crystal methamphetamine and 2.2 pounds of cocaine shrink-wrapped inside the box. Sheriff’s officials estimated the drugs’ street value at about $280,000.
Lt. David Poteat said a smuggler likely put the drugs in the box before it was shipped from the Juarez, Mexico, area, where it had been reconditioned. He said no one noticed at the department store where the vacuum was purchased.
