Georgia Child Finds $40K in Meth Inside Lego Box

Three Georgia women bought a box of Legos while visiting a South Carolina consignment shop as a gift for a child, only to find that the box was actually filled with about $40,000 worth of methamphetamine.

Bulloch County Sheriff's Investigator Jim Riggs said that the women gifted the box to a child, who opened it and discovered the three pounds of drugs, reports WSOC .

Deputies say the women turned the drugs over to the sheriff's office, who called in Drug Enforcement Administration agents. Riggs says authorities determined the drugs were likely mailed to the wrong address, and then possibly auctioned off and resold in the shop.
