U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers in Philadelphia said they found cocaine and methamphetamine inside a children’s game that was being shipped to London, England.
The package was discovered on July 30, 2025, officials said. Philadelphia CBP officers said they found a zip-locked bag and a vacuum-sealed bag that was concealed under a bag of cat food inside a box for the “5 Second Rule, Jr.” game.
The bags contained 515 grams of cocaine and 186.9 grams of methamphetamine, according to officials.
Investigators said the package was being shipped from Atlanta, Georgia, to London, England, after being posted as returned to sender.
“Parcels may be returned to sender if the parcel was undeliverable to the Atlanta address – incorrect or nonexistent address – or not accepted by the address resident,” a CBP spokesperson wrote. “Additionally, drug trafficking organizations may swap the parcel’s contents and post it returned to sender to give the appearance of the parcel being misaddressed.”
The CBP officers seized the drugs and continue to investigate.
“This seizure of dangerous drugs illustrates how Customs and Border Protection officers expertly leverage our export enforcement mission to combat drug trafficking organizations,” said Cleatus P. Hunt, Jr., Area Port Director for CBP’s Area Port of Philadelphia. “CBP officers remain committed to searching for and seizing similar export and import shipments to deprive criminal organizations of their poisonous products or illicit revenue.”
