Man calls police to report stolen drugs

A Utah teenager called the police when a burglar stole a big bag of marijuana from his home.

And, after police pulled in a suspect, the 18-year-old agreed to go to the station to 'identify' the drugs.

The 'victim' was then arrested and charged with possession of drugs with intent to supply, reports the Deseret Morning News.

"He actually came and identified it as his," said Orem Police Lt. Doug Edwards. "Even the dumb criminals are generally smarter than this."

It began when police received a call from an Olem man complaining his home had been broken into and a quarter-pound of marijuana stolen.

The burglar had broken a window and apparently cut himself while crawling into the home.

The Orem man told police that a 23-year-old Provo man had called him about buying the marijuana but the deal hadn't gone through.

Officers tracked the Provo man to his mother's home where they found 6oz marijuana and a pair of blood-soaked trousers.

The man was arrested and charged with burglary, theft and possession of marijuana with intent to supply.
