California — An early Christmas delivery to Toy Town turned out to be a teddy bear stuffed with three vacuum-sealed packages apparently containing marijuana, said toy store owner Joshua Vecchione.
The package was delivered Tuesday by the postal service around noon, Vecchione said. Vecchione said the box was addressed to a David Lang in Colorado and was postmarked from Thousand Oaks with a return address of Toy Town.
"Some mix-up took place," Vecchione said. "The postmaster should have noticed."
Vecchione opened the box to find a 2-foot-tall blue teddy bear that felt "hard and crinkly." Vecchione called the Orange County Sheriff's Department about the suspicious delivery.
The Ladera Ranch sheriff's blotter shows a call was placed at 12:22 p.m. from the toy store in the Mercantile West Shopping Center.
Vecchione said two sheriff's deputies responded. One deputy cut open the seam of the teddy bear in the store's stockroom to find the three packages of marijuana, about 10 inches by 10 inches by 2 inches in size, Vecchione said.
