The Bay Area Drug Gang Enforcement Squad, also known as BADGES, removed 6.5 pounds of Marijuana from hitting the streets of Bay County. BADGES along with the U.S. Postal Inspector’s office were made aware of an arrest of two individuals in Arizona. The arresting agency notified the Postal Inspectors Office about a package that may be enroute to Panama City via the U.S. Mail service. With the help of the Panama City Police Department’s K-9 Turk the package was located. Inside the package were several shirt size gift boxes wrapped as presents. Inside of each wrapped gift boxes were several vacuum-sealed packages of marijuana. This is the second package that K-9 Turk has alerted on in less than one month. In late July he alerted on a ten-pound package of marijuana also being shipped via the U.S. Mail.
