Black Market Baby Formula. Really!
Really do any of those words sound like they go together?
PalmBeachPost reported "Ring stole $48,000 in baby formula, FDLE agent says"
Note 1.
Baby formula in recent years has become a hot black market item, according to federal law enforcement authorities. Over the years, federal investigators have arrested people suspected of making millions selling stolen formula.
Note 2.
Most of the stolen baby food is repackaged and sold, which health experts say poses a potential danger to infants. Drug dealers also sometimes use the powdered formula to cut cocaine
Note 3.
Some stores have responded to the thefts by keeping baby formula on locked
shelved or behind counters in stores. On Friday afternoon, a 25.7-ounce can of powdered Similac formula at the Publix in Wedgewood Commons was priced at nearly $25.
Wow. Just Wow.
