@abc7chicago: For one Uber Eats driver, it started with a pickup in Lindenwold, New Jersey on Friday night. "She was in the middle of an Uber Eats delivery with what she believed was a burrito meal," said Washington Township Police Chief Patrick Gurcsik. The package appeared to contain a foil-wrapped burrito, a box of soup mix, and a bottle of water. But police say as she was driving, she started to suspect this was no ordinary burrito, as an unmistakable odor was coming from the bag. "She believed something didn't smell right with her delivery package. She thought it smelled like marijuana," said Gurcsik. She pulled over in Washington Township along Fries Mill Road and called the police. "He inspected the package curbside and determined that it was not a burrito meal," said Gurcsik. "There was no meat, or lettuce or beans or rice. It was actually an ounce of marijuana." The bogus burrito was taken into evidence and police are now investigating where the drugs came from. Because police say the food didn't come from a restaurant, there's a good chance the suspects were using the option to deliver a package from point A to point B. According to Uber's website, things like medication, alcohol and illegal substances are not allowed.
