My 90 year old family member is having their bathroom renovated. 5 shoebox-sized packages arrive at like 4am, labeled "Shower Door". My relative gets up very early, so they see the package come in. They look at the boxes, think a) Thats not a shower door, and b) I'm not installing shower doors, so my relative opens them.
Inside are nondescript bundles of powder. My relative has no clue what it is. They call the contractor, the contractor comes over, takes one look, and calls the cops. It turns out to be 10+ pounds of fentanyl.
So clearly someone working with the contractor has a scheme going, where they target elderly, unsavvy people in order to ship hundreds of thousands of dollars of fentanyl in the middle of the night. The subcontractor presumably slips in before the homeowner notices, most people aren't awake at 5am checking building material deliveries.
The carrier was just some general shipping company. Not a big name, but not shady either. They had no idea what was being carried.
We don't think its the main contractor, because he easily could have gotten away with it. He could have said "Oh this is grout mix" and my relative would have been perfectly happy. I guess its a possibility though.
Supposedly the cops are looking into it, so I guess we'll see what happens.
