Central Florida sheriff seizes $2 million of marijuana from storage unit
It’s unlikely the owner of $2 million worth of marijuana will come forward, but the Brevard County sheriff is giving it a shot, even if in jest.
On a post to the agency’s Facebook page, an image of 770 pounds of marijuana seized from a storage unit in Viera is seen along the headline, " Brevard County Sheriff’s Office is attempting to return lost items.”
The post leads with, “If you happened to have lost or misplaced approximately 770 pounds of high grade marijuana and would like to have your property returned, please contact our Narcotics Agents and we will be more than happy to reunite you with your lost property!!”
The post said it was found in a mini-storage facility and had a street value of approximately $2 million.
“So if the 770 lbs of marijuana belongs to you, all we need you to do is come down to our Criminal Investigative Services building on Gus Hipp Blvd in Rockledge and claim your property with absolutely no strings attached!! Once we properly identify you as the rightful owner we will gladly return your property and also make sure that both you and your property are kept in a secure area so that no one can try to rip you off!!” reads the post.
The post is attributed to Sheriff Wayne Ivey.
