marijuana Louisville, Feb 22 (THAINDIAN NEWS) A truck full of confiscated marijuana has simply disappeared between Memphis and Louisville. The Memphis Commercial-Appeal reported on Sunday that around 1,700 pounds of marijuana disappeared during a controlled drug delivery going from Memphis to Louisville. A Memphis Police Department memo obtained by the newspaper said that the marijuana was confiscated on the 10th of February, and was being escorted to Louisville by Memphis police and Shelby County sheriff’s deputies. It is unclear how the marijuana that was guarded by the Memphis police and the Shelby County deputies, managed to disappear.

The marijuana is said to be worth more than $1 million in the market. Sources say that the police officers acknowledge that they had seen some vehicles go near the police vehicle in which the confiscated marijuana was kept. The police officers say that they saw the vehicles leave, then come back again near to the vehicle, in which the apprehended marijuana was kept, and then leave again. By this time the police was suspicious of the activities of the vehicle, and they went and checked out their truck in which the confiscated marijuana was kept, but by that time, it was already too late. The police vehicle was empty, and around 1,700 pounds of marijuana worth over $1 million was missing.
