| All four sides of the 36 clocks had marijuana concealed in them — about a half pound on each side, and a pound at top and bottom. |
Police have recovered 132 pounds of marijuana hidden in a shipment of wooden clocks in Illinois.
Roberto Carlin, 38, of Cicero, was charged with marijuana possession and possession with intent to deliver, according to Cicero Police spokesman Ray Hanania, reports NBC Chicago.
The bust came down on Monday, when Cicero Gang and Narcotics Officers were notified by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement that a shipment of three packages containing clocks with cannabis hidden inside had been sent from Kentucky and was addressed to a Cicero address, according to officials.
