A dopey cannabis dealer was quickly rumbled by post office staff after he tried to send the drug to a friend. Daniel Mann was easily sniffed out by mail workers who realised what he was trying to do after the potent smell was wafting from the parcel.
The 42-year-old made it even easier for the authorities after putting his mum’s address on the package in case it had to be returned.
Mann, who claimed the bulk of it was for personal use, visited the post office on January 6 2020. There were 757g, or 27 ounces, of cannabis, in it and police went on to find another 812g of it at his home and also at his mum’s.
The post office contacted the police who were able to identify Mann on CCTV in the South Gosforth store in Newcastle.Neil Pallister, prosecuting, told Newcastle Crown Court: “Police got a phone call from staff saying a man had delivered a suspicious package for posting and it smelled of cannabis.“Police attended and it was quite clear the package left by the defendant contained two large bags of cannabis.” The drugs at the post office were worth up to £5,940, according to Newcastle Chronicle.When police went to his home they found £5,120 in cash and 190g of cannabis at his home.
