The couple bought some clothes on a Swedish website and when they received the clothes they saw that one of the boxes contained 24,800 ecstasy pills. The couple informed the police of the finding.

A couple from the Austrian city of Linz, about 200 kilometers west of Vienna, received almost 25,000 ecstasy pills along with a request for clothing they made online, local police reported.

The couple, 58 and 59, requested two clothes from a website in the Netherlands and received two packages after a while: one contained the clothes they bought and another 24,800 pills of ecstasy, for a value in the black market of about 500,000 euros.

According to the police account, the couple accepted both packages, which were not related to each other, although he was surprised by the weight of one of them.

The woman believed at first that the pills were actually pink decorative stones, although the husband soon suspected, “upon closer inspection,” that this was some kind of drug.

The couple took the package with the ecstasy pills to the local post office, where they notified the police.

Austrian agents alerted Dutch security forces, who discovered that the package actually arrived by mistake in Austria and its original destination was an address from Scotland.

The Scottish police arrested the person to whom the package was addressed while Dutch agents are still investigating who sent the package from the Netherlands and how the error that took that package to Austria occurred.
