According to Automotive news, employees or owners of auto dealerships have been letting drug trafficking happen in the company. When marijuana is a part within the box of parts being shipped, "parts is parts" takes on a new meaning.

Maryland Honda/Volkswagen dealership with drug trafficking

A Maryland Honda/Volkswagen dealership was caught with 120 pounds, or $ 1.6 million worth of marijuana, reports DealershipForum.com. Every delivery made, an employee working parts got $ 100. The drug dealer was where he was supposed to be sending the drugs. Automotive News indicates similar illicit activity occurred at a Detroit-area Mopar Parts Distribution Center, where two 10-pound bricks of marijuana came in a box of wiper blades. Is good help that hard to find, when everyone needs a job?

Some of the auto dealership hijinks

Think these are isolated cases? Think again. As outlined by the Seattle Times, drug dealing happened at the former Huling Brothers Auto Center of Seattle. A Florida auto dealership was getting used by Richard Carlson, who owns Nova Motor Group, as a "massive drug trafficking business," reports Fox 29 WFLX of Hollywood, Fla.. Apparently Carlson stashed cocaine in SUVs which were shipped to Sweden. Duane Glenn worked with two partners selling cocaine in a Midway Motors in Abington, Massachusetts. They also had been selling marijuana.

John DeLorean has a fantastic story

From 1975 to 1982, The DeLorean Motor company sold luxury sports cars, but then it went bankrupt. In the 1980s, the DeLorean DMC-12 was one of the best cars to get, although John DeLorean couldn't determine how to maintain all of its operating capital. DeLorean started to accept money, shown in a film, for illicit substances. DeLorean went free because there seemed to have been some entrapment.
