Police say hungry rats are to blame after 1,000 pounds of marijuana vanished in India

Police in Mathura, a city about 100 miles south of New Delhi, said rats consumed the sizable stockpile, filled with enough marijuana to roll 1.3 million joints, after a court mandated that the drugs be produced as evidence in a smuggling trial, according to The National.

“There is no place in the police station where the stored goods can be saved from the rats,” prosecutors said, according to the outlet.
