At the beginning of March a van carrying illicit cargo in Amsterdam crashed and scattered it across the road. Three tonnes of hashish went up in smoke when the Dutch authorities incinerated the illicit cargo from the crashed van.
Detectives hunted for the van’s driver and passenger who fled the scene after the accident. It’s unknown if the occupants were injured. It’s estimated that the pair left behind about $23.5 million dollars worth of goods including the van. Police were busy tracing the van’s ownership but feared that it might have been stolen or leased.
The accident happened during the morning rush hour on a highway outside of the town of Avenhorn, about 30 kilometres north of Amsterdam.
The driver lost control of the vehicle as he or she was heading towards Amsterdam. Witnesses watched the van hit a barrier, flip and crash into another car before coming to a rest. Packages of hash were strewn over the area, and hundreds more were found stacked on wooden pallets in the van.
Marijuana and hash are technically illegal in the Netherlands, but under the country’s tolerance policy, police do not arrest anybody for possession of small amounts. It is sold openly in licensed shops, which, paradoxically, have no way of legally acquiring their chief product.

This past February a former Canadian defense minister demanded that governments worldwide disclose and use secret alien technologies that have been obtained in alleged UFO crashes. He was suggesting that these alleged technologies be used to stem climate change.
“I would like to see what alien technology there might be that could eliminate the burning of fossil fuels within a generation … that could be a way to save our planet,” Paul Hellyer, 83, told the Ottawa Citizen.
Alien spacecrafts would have traveled vast distances to reach Earth, and so must be equipped with advanced propulsion systems or used exceptional fuels, he told the newspaper.
Such alien technologies could offer humanity alternatives to fossil fuels, he said, pointing to the enigmatic 1947 incident in Roswell, New Mexico – which has become a shrine for UFO believers – as an example of alien contact.
“We need to persuade governments to come clean on what they know. Some of us suspect they know quite a lot, and it might be enough to save our planet if applied quickly enough,” he said.
Hellyer was a defense minister in former Canadian prime minster Lester B. Pearson’s cabinet in 1963. He oversaw the controversial integration and unification of Canada’s army, air force and navy into Canadian Forces. (that was back when we did have a decent amount of troupes and our equipment was new!)
In September of 2005 he shocked many Canadians when he announced that he’d once saw a UFO.
Am I embarrassed to admit that I’m Canadian? You bet I am!

Some criminals are so dumb they really should find a new line of work.
Daniel Brown, 22, of Hartselle, Ala., thought he was smart when he wore a ski mask to hide his identity from his grandfather when he staged a home invasion this past January. What went wrong? When he burst in to the house he yelled, “I need your money, and I mean it, Pa-Paw.”.
To top things off he was stupid enough to try denying that he was the man behind the mask when he was arrested.
Then there’s Glenn Vickers, 53, who was allegedly intoxicated while driving on Interstate 64 near Kanawa County, W. Va. He decided to tailgate a driver that day. Guess who he was tailgating as he weaved on the roadway? None other than Sheriff Mike Rutherford who was driving an unmarked car.
After Vickers jockeyed behind Rutherford for a while, he peeled off at an exit and flipped Rutherford the finger. He should have paid more attention to his driving though since the act of raising his finger high caused him to crash into the guardrail. I guess it’s a good thing he didn’t end up hurting anyone while he was DUI.
Some people!
