Plumber Finds Drugs in Bathroom Vanity
Wednesday, June 14, 2006
SOUTHWICK, Mass. - For the fifth time in a week, a stash of drugs was
found in a cabinet at a Home Depot store in Massachusetts or discovered
after the fixture was brought home.
A plumber in Southwick discovered 40 pounds of marijuana and three
kilograms of cocaine stashed in a bathroom vanity he'd purchased at a
Home Depot in Chicopee.
A second stash was found at that store and at least two more were
discovered at a Tewksbury Home Depot, Southwick Police Lt. David Ricardi
said. One of the Tewksbury stashes was discovered June 8 after a
homeowner brought home a cabinet and found 50 pounds of marijuana.
Police also found drugs in a fifth cabinet. Ricardi would not say where
or when it was discovered but said it was within the last week.
"It's a smuggling operation gone bad," Ricardi said. "Somebody owes some
money."
Ricardi said the plumber discovered the drugs on Monday after he bought
the vanity for a home renovation. The man noticed the vanity top hadn't
been included in the package and instead found two plastic bags
containing the drugs. Ricardi said the drugs are worth $200,000.
Tony Pettigrew, a spokesman for the Drug Enforcement Administration,
said Wednesday that his agency was investigating, but declined further
comment.
Atlanta-based Home Depot said it was cooperating with investigators.
