'White Powder' Found in Stuffed Reindeer Donated to California Charity
A charity worker in Los Angeles said they were shocked to find bags of white powder hidden inside a stuffed reindeer that was donated earlier this year.
Footage shot at a donation center on February 6 captured the moment a worker fiddled with a hole at the bottom of a plush reindeer and caused three suspicious bags to fall out.
“I noticed outside that there was a hole at the bottom of that deer,” the charity worker told Storyful. “I kind of wanted to feel around to see if I could fix it so I could still sell it, and I felt a bag,” they said.
After calling the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), the charity was provided with a “receipt for property taken into custody” on which police described it as an “off-white powdery substance resembling cocaine wrapped in clear Saran Wrap.”
The source, who requested that their name be withheld, told Storyful the stuffed animal had arrived among a variety of “weird” items delivered to the donation center day.
“I was like, this person must have been rich or famous or whatever,” they said.
