Police return stolen car with cocaine, crack pipe, pellet gun inside - UPI.com
An Alberta woman whose stolen car was located by police said it came back from impound containing cocaine, a crack pipe and a pellet gun. Courtney Pickering of Calgary said her 2014 Dodge Dart was stolen last week and police contacted her a couple of days later to say the vehicle had been recovered and she could pick it up when forensics was finished investigating. Pickering said she went to the impound lot to pick up the car and she immediately discovered a knife in the front passenger door, a lead pipe on the floor mats with other garbage, four stolen IDs in the glove compartment and a baggie of cocaine in... "A crack pipe on the seat where my son's car seat is usually on, right there, out in the open. Pickering said she left the car and its contents for police to remove the evidence. She said she went through the car a second time after it was towed to a nearby auto shop and she discovered another item -- a gun in the back seat. "The gun was sticking out, right where my son sits, right in front of him, and he climbs into his car seat on his own -- that's just scary," she told the Calgary Sun. The weapon was later found to be a realistic-looking pellet gun, but Pickering said she filed a complaint with the Professional Standards Section of the Calgary Police. Source: www.upi.com
