Follow the jump for more of this week’s weirdest and wackiest cases from around the globe.
Toilet paper thief strikes again
Remember at the beginning of the Covid pandemic toilet paper was the hottest commodity and there were shortages all over the place? Well in Youngstown Ohio, toilet paper is the talk of the town again, but this time it’s because a building in the area has recently seen multiple toilet paper thefts.
The most recent tp robbery happened at a daycare in the building. Some of the robberies were videotaped, so hopefully, they’ll be able to find the person and keep the local buildings’ toilet paper safe.
Snake sale gone wrong
A man in Florida is in trouble after he was caught trying to sell a venomous snake to an undercover cop, through a Snapchat exchange.
He claims this did not happen, and that the snake he has is a non-venomous corn snake that he has as a pet. But according to the affidavit, what he offered the undercover officer was a coral snake.
What’s crazy to me though is the fact that this entire illegal snake sale ordeal happened over Snapchat. Who would’ve thought?
That’s a lot of onions
How many onions are too many onions to declare at airport customs? For 10 flight attendants from the Philippines, they thought it was a better idea to try and sneak 27kg of onions past customs in their suitcases.
They were caught obviously and now facing smuggling charges. That’s because any amount of products you bring into the country is considered importing produce, which is handled differently than just going through customs.
Unfortunately, all those onions went to waste because they were ultimately destroyed.
