Perhaps on some level the contents of these packages could be classified as medication.

But you’d be hard pushed to find these drugs on any government healthcare plan.

Police who pulled over a motorist in Northampton, Massachusetts, for traffic violations were stunned when their police dog discovered a massive haul of heroin in the vehicle.

And, bizarrely, each package was labelled Obamacare in big red letters.

K9 Frankie picked up the scent of the class A narcotics, leading to state troopers Dave Stucenski and Joe Petty finding 1,250 bags of it in the vehicle.

The Massachusetts State Police uploaded pictures of the haul to their Facebook page, with the comment: ‘Early this morning, Trooper Joseph Petty was on a traffic stop of Route 91 in Northampton when a vehicle passed by him.



‘Trooper Petty observed several violations. Trooper Petty stopped the vehicle a short time later in the Town of Hatfield. Trooper Petty made contact with the operator and passengers.

‘During the stop, evidence of illegal narcotics led to a request for a State Police K9. Trooper David Stucenski and K9 Frankie located 1,250 individual bags of heroin in the vehicle.’

Four people have since been charged with narcotics violations.
