What can Brown deliver for you?

A cloned UPS delivery truck was caught last month transporting marijuana in Tucson, officials announced Tuesday.

Arizona Department of Public Safety officials pulled over the phony UPS truck on Nov. 14 because of a suspicious license plate. They found 2,118 pounds of marijuana in the back, according to a press release by DPS.


The driver fled on foot after being pulled over and is still at large.

The suspects painted the truck a similar shade of brown then attached yellow decals in the same arrangement as an authorized UPS truck. They even went as far as to make a homemade license plate with the number that is assigned to UPS in Phoenix.

The number on the impostor truck was an actual number assigned to an UPS truck in the Tucson area.

The bales of marijuana in the truck were still attached to burlap back straps, which human drug smugglers, or "mules" use to carry the drugs through the desert. The marijuana has a street value worth nearly $1.2 million.

Wonder what genius said, "Dude, lets make our own license plate. The cops will never know"? I can just imagine some lame ass MS paint version of a AZ license plate someone printed out on their inkjet, thinking they are the smartest person in the world.

Pics of the truck. Other than the misspelled "sinchronizing", it looks like a pretty decent attempt at a fake UPS truck -- reflective decals and everything. They don't show any pictures of the dodgy license plate though.

Would have fooled me if i saw it driving by.

Wow he gives hope to criminals everywhere who bail out on a car chase.

And the front and back ends of that truck give it away... too narrow and old-school looking. From the side, not so much. I would notice since I used to be able to identify vehicles at night from their headlights alone... details, you know?

Yeah, but at that quality you may as well go out into your lawn, rip up some grass, and roll it in a maple leaf.

This man knows his penis.

UPS trucks use a custom body and are destroyed after they are no longer usable. The fake truck was painted in a convincing manner but no current or former UPS employee would have ever mistaken it. I can't imaging that it would have gotten much further without a UPS driver calling it in.

Have you yet to be introduced to yours?

 

[BudAshes]

its funny that the guy got out and booked it and the cops couldn't catch him. How come they never show those encounters on cops?

Why a UPS truck? If anything, faking a police van or something would've been better no? A cop wouldn't bother running their own plates.

Uhhh, no.

Cops are far more likely to take a look at another cop car AND know exactly how they should look. Far better to choose something that not as many people will be familiar with.

Yeah, I definitely knew all the vehicles in our fleet.

I don't know what advantage this has over just driving a regular van. In fact, if they just bought a van and got real tags then they would not have been pulled over.

Edit - Unless they hired a driver who was a high school track star so that he could get away.
