A stuffed animal donated to a Los Angeles charity is now at the center of a police investigation. According to KABC, three bags containing a suspicious white powder were found inside the stuffed reindeer. Video from the donation center shows a worker examining a hole at the bottom of the reindeer back in February. Three bags containing a powdered substance quickly fell out of the hole. "I kind of wanted to feel around to see if I could fix it so I could still sell it, and I felt a bag," the charity worker told KABC.
The charity reported what they found to the Los Angeles Police Department, who picked up the toy for examination. Officers told KABC the powdery substance resembled cocaine bundled in Saran plastic wrap. An anonymous source also informed the news station that the stuffed reindeer was just one of many "weird" items delivered to the charity on the same day. "I was like, 'This person must have been rich or famous or whatever,'" the person said.
According to KABC, the incident is currently under investigation.
