Police in India have blamed rats for destroying nearly 200kg of cannabis after it disappeared from a station in Uttar Pradesh, reports the BBC.

Officers at the station were asked to produce the 195kg of drugs as evidence in a court case but had nothing to show. They insisted ‘fearless mice’ had ‘destroyed’ the stock while it was in storage, which sounds like an excuse you’d give while you were high tbf.

Amazingly, Judge Sanjay Chaudhary was totally sympathetic to the story. He even said he’d heard of rats eating drugs stored at police stations before. You don’t say? The judge told the court:

‘Rats are tiny animals and they have no fear of the police. It’s difficult to protect the drug from them.’

So 195 KILOGRAMS of weed goes missing from a police station, and the best explanation anyone can come up with is that rats somehow found their way into the criminal evidence storage room, and either stole it or immediately ate/smoked it all? Just how big were these rats? Are they sure it wasn’t one 600kg rat working on its own? Did the rats then raid the nearest Co-op for munchies afterwards?

Just as well these rats never got to any of the cocaine. Probably saving that for New Year’s Eve to be fair.
