Bizarre calls to police stations are an everyday affair in many countries around the world. From calls about broken appliances and dog problems to couple fights and sleepless nights, the police department has to deal with a large number of peculiar callers.

However, when a disgruntled UK woman recently called a police station in Northern Ireland, the conversation she had with a police officer left everyone at the station baffled, including many netizens.

Believe it or not, the woman called the Craigavon police station to complain she was sold “brown sugar” instead of cocaine for £200. The Facebook conversation between the woman and a police officer was later shared on social media.

Craigavon police officials later requested other people who have been “scammed” to come forward.

“Granted, it’s not exactly the sort of slick wheeling and dealing business savvy that would see you go the distance in The Apprentice, but it shouldn’t surprise anyone that drug dealers are scammers!” the PSNI Craigavon wrote on Facebook.

Craigavon Police also summarised details of the call they received from the woman who was “scammed” by drug dealers.

Caller: I've been scammed.

Me: Ok, are you out any money?

Caller: Yeah I paid over £200 and got brown sugar instead.

Me: Instead of what?

Caller: Cocaine

“I'm out of brown sugar crystals and white just isn't the same in my coffee. Can ye give me the dude's number?” wrote another.
