Police in Indiana have found 5,000 marijuana plants growing on land that is partly used for a Girl Scout camp. Where they tipped off by the large number of empty Thin Mints boxes laying around?
Police found the hidden marijuana farm with plants in various stages of cultivation in a wooded swampy area of Kosciusko County, according to documents filed Monday in U.S. District Court in South Bend. Some of the plants were growing on land belonging to a local resident, while the bulk — about 5,000 plants — were growing on camp land. State troopers in an airplane spotted the plots.
Mario Comacho, 44, Mariano Gonzales, 38, and a juvenile were arrested last week after police found the farm. Comacho and Gonzales, both of Goshen, appeared for an initial hearing Monday in federal court on charges of possession of more than 1,000 marijuana plants with the intent to distribute. Neither man had an attorney, according to court documents.

If you believe in bad karma, we can’t think of a better way to bring it on than ripping off a couple Girl Scouts. We bet these jerks kick puppies for fun, too.
A pair of con artists ripped off a Girl Scout group when they exchanged a fake $100 bill for cookies, police said.
The unknown couple handed over the bill Friday night at a supermarket, telling the girls it had been washed when asked about why it looked so strange.
“It felt and looked wrong and it was a quarter of an inch shorter than a $1 bill,” said Jil Hennessey-Seabolt, the cookie director for Junior Girl Scouts Troop 2121. Hennessey-Seabolt said the Girl Scouts gave the couple $93.50 in change after the purchase.

A girl scout was robbed during a cookie sale, by one of her customers. Lucky for her, the suspect wrote down her name and address on the order form so that police could arrest her quickly.
SAVANNAH, Ga. — A Girl Scout who was robbed while selling cookies led police straight to a 12-year-old suspect — who wrote her name and address on a cookie order form before the theft.
The Girl Scout, 10-year-old Nicole Grant, told police she was selling cookies with a friend Sunday when a girl ordered cookies from her, then snatched Nicole’s zip-top bag, containing $28 in cookie money, and fled on a bicycle.
“She’s still a little shook up, but she’s fine,” said Chris Grant, the Girl Scout’s father.
