The unnamed woman rang officers in the remote Northern Territory, Australia, in the hope they would intervene over the cost of marijuana.

A woman called her local police department to complain that her drug dealer was ripping her off with an unexpected price hike.

The unnamed woman rang officers in the remote Northern Territory, Australia, in the hope they would intervene over the cost of marijuana.

The drug is illegal everywhere in Australia. More

This fact appears to have occurred to the woman part way through her call, as she hung up when officers asked for more detail.

Bemused officers shared the news of the call in a Facebook post, adding that anybody else suffering similar problems should “give us a call” as they’d “love to help”.

The post said:

A woman called police to complain about the price of marijuana in her community, reporting that her local drug dealer had asked for more money than the usual.

Completely offended, the woman demanded that police investigate this ‘outrageous’ price hike. When asked for further details, the woman hung up.

If you know a drug dealer who is ripping you off, give us a call, we’d love to help.

Their message quickly went viral, racking up some 15,000 shares.

I would have posted this under "Dumb Crook News" but we do not have that category

Reminds me of a situation a few years ago when I was a member of the grand jury. A drug deal was set up to meet at a local motel. The buyers pulled guns, took the drugs, whatever money the dealers had, their credit cards, cell phones, check book, the dealers guns, AND their car. The dealers called the local PD to report the armed theft. Sharp, huh ? The PD captured the buyers, all the stuff, and put them in cells adjacent to the dealers. The jailers reported that was an " entertaining " evening, LOL.

The officer in charge had a difficult time giving us his testimony. He and we were all laughing so hard. I have served on Grand Jury several times. That was the funniest testimony I have ever heard.

Yes, we handed down numerous indictments.
