Drug trafficking at an auto dealership

Auto dealerships have been having more and more drug trafficking happen in them which are being allowed by either employees or owners. When marijuana is a part within the box of parts being shipped, “parts is parts” takes on a new meaning.

Drug ring found at Maryland Honda/Volkswagen dealership

DealershipForum.com reports that $ 1.6 million, or 120 pounds of marijuana was found in a Maryland Honda/Volkswagen dealership. An employee in the parts department reported to have been paid $ 100 for every delivery made. He was in charge of passing this to the dealer. A Detroit-area Mopar Parts Distribution Center was found to have 10 pound bricks of marijuana with a batch of wiper blades, reports Automotive News. Is good help that hard to discover, when everybody needs a job?

Auto dealership hijinks abound

Are these the only cases? Think again. According to the Seattle Times, drug dealing happened at the previous Huling Brothers Auto Center of Seattle. A Florida auto dealership was getting used by Richard Carlson, who owns Nova Motor Group, as a “massive drug trafficking business,” reports Fox 29 WFLX of Hollywood, Fla.. Apparently Carlson stashed cocaine in SUVs that were shipped to Sweden. In Abington, Massachusetts, a couple partners working with Duane Glenn in a Midway Motors selling cocaine. Marijuana was being sold in this situation also.

The story behind John DeLorean

From 1975 to 1982, The DeLorean Motor company sold luxury sports cars, but then it went bankrupt. In the 1980s, the DeLorean DMC-12 was one of the best cars to get, although John DeLorean could not figure out how to maintain all of its operating capital. Drugs began to be sold be DeLorean as proved in a film. DeLorean went free because there seemed to have been some entrapment.
