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.

How would you like to get this in the mail?

Two packages that contained human body parts - a liver, and part of a human head - were delivered to someones home. The body parts were supposed to have been delivered to a medical research lab, but they obviously didn’t make it there did they?

The body parts had been sent from China. The gory package was mistakenly delivered in early March to the home of Franck and Ludivine Larmande by DHL express. The delivery company driver believed the bubble wrapped body parts were pieces of a table.

“My husband started to unwrap one and said, ‘This is strange, it looks like a liver,’” Ludivine Larmande said. “He started the second one, but stopped as soon as we saw the ear.

“Something wasn’t right. It was scary, and I’m glad I didn’t open them.”

The couple called Kent County, Mich. sheriff’s deputies who examined the packages and determined that the preserved body parts were for medical research.

Unfortunately authorities now believe that there might be 28 more bubble wrapped human body parts dispersed across the country. Two of five packages that had been heading to the Northern Michigan lab broke open scattering their contents. The shipping company, DHL, has been investigating whether it should have shipped the body parts and how the packages were dispersed.

“There will definitely be a shock to people if they see these things, but there is no hazard to health,” Parent said.

You have to wonder if anyone receiving these body parts will think that a serial killer is sending them to them, eh? What do you think?
