An Uber Eats delivery in New Jersey took a surprising turn when a driver found an ounce of marijuana wrapped in foil to mimic a burrito. The incident occurred in Lindenwold, Camden County, prompting an investigation by Washington Township Police.

The driver, initially delivering a burrito, soup, and water, grew suspicious due to a strong marijuana odor coming from the package. Acting on her instincts, she contacted the authorities. Police Chief Patrick Gurcsik confirmed the package contained a large zip-closed bag of raw marijuana, not the expected meal.
