Police in Battle Ground, Wash., say they arrested two men in the parking lot of a shopping center last week who allegedly possessed drugs tucked inside individually wrapped cookies.
The city made an announcement on social media about the arrests on Sunday, April 13, warning residents to be wary of what it called “Crack Rock-let Chip Cookies” — a play on chocolate chip cookies. The post shared photos of the tinfoil wrapped baked goods that allegedly had small baggies of “cocaine, fentanyl, and methamphetamine, concealed within the cookie wrappers.”
The post did not identify the suspects. The Battle Ground Police Department did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for more information.
“Last week, alert officers from the Battle Ground Police Department identified and disrupted an illegal narcotics operation involving drugs concealed inside several individually wrapped cookies,” the social media post read. “Officers observed suspicious activity between two individuals inside a vehicle parked at a local shopping center. After securing and executing a search warrant, officers located various illegal narcotics, including cocaine, fentanyl, and methamphetamine, concealed within the cookie wrappers.”
The post added that “additional evidence consistent with drug trafficking, such as digital scales, transaction ledgers, and packaging materials, were also recovered from the vehicle.”
