Police in South Jersey found more than an ounce of marijuana in an Uber Eats order after a delivery driver noticed the smell of cannabis coming from the bag.

The marijuana had been placed in a plastic bag that was wrapped in tin foil – an attempt to make it look like a burrito, Washington Township police said. The delivery bag also had a box of Lipton Kosher soup mix and a bottle of pomegranate-flavored water.
