This ruse went up in smoke.
A New Jersey Uber Eats driver thought she was delivering a customer a burrito when a strong, unmistakable odor led her to discover she was actually muling marijuana, according to police.
The woman picked up what appeared to be a normal food order from a location in Lindenwold, Camden County, on Friday night — a burrito wrapped up in tin foil, a soup and a water bottle, according to Washington Township Police.
But as she was driving she recognized the odor coming from the bag of food — and it wasn’t carnitas.
…
She pulled over and called the police.
An officer arrived and “inspected the package curbside and determined that it was not a burrito meal,” said Gurcsik.
“There was no meat, or lettuce or beans or rice. It was actually an ounce of marijuana,” he said.
The misdirection worked as they overlooked the heroin soup.
