Did you leave your cocaine at a grocery store? Oceanside RCMP want to talk to you

Oceanside RCMP say they seized a baggie containing cocaine that was found in a produce aisle Wednesday morning.

Police said an employee at a local grocery store called the detachment to report a suspicious baggie in the aisle. Officers went to the store, seized the package and tested the contents. It was confirmed to be 3.6 grams of cocaine.

“If you are in the habit of dropping significant quantities of cocaine in very public places, consider attending the Oceanside RCMP detachment as we sure would like to talk to you,” police wrote in a witty release.

“We are just grateful that this was found by a responsible employee and did not fall into the hands of a child.”

Oceanside RCMP did not release the name of the grocery store. The detachment serves Parksville, Qualicum Beach, Nanoose Bay, Coombs, Hilliers, Errington, French Creek, Dashwood, Englishman River, Shaw Hill, Qualicum Bay, Deep Bay and Bowser.
