CHECK your books before departure.
A cautionary story for anyone who buys
second hand books to check them before
you take them on holidays surfaced this
week, after a US college student, Sophia
Stockton, found a bag of cocaine inside her
text book following its delivery to her home.
Stockton ordered her ‘Understanding
Terrorism: Challenges, Perspectives, and
Issues’ textbook from the online book giant
Amazon, and upon discovering a bag of
white powder inside took it to the police,
fearing the powder was anthrax.
“I told them white powder was in my
terrorism textbook and so I put it on the
table and they’re like, ‘oh, okay,’ and so they
went back and tested it,” she said.
“An officer came back and says, ‘you
didn’t happen to order some cocaine with
your textbook?”
