Alleged diaper smugglers busted in Sweden
JAMTLAND, Sweden, Sept. 29 (UPI) -- Perhaps they should have tried the brown -- or light green -- market, instead. Swedish police said they arrested two men accused of attempting to smuggle more than 25,000 diapers from Norway to eastern Europe. Investigators said the Lithuanian nationals, whose identities were not released, were stopped by police in Jamtland, and officers soon discovered their van was hauling 25,175 fresh disposable diapers.Police said the diapers were purchased in Norway, where diapers cost less than $1 apiece, and were likely designed for the black market in eastern Europe, where the products can retail for considerably more money. Stefan Fredriksson of the Jamtland police told the Expressen newspaper the smugglers failed to disclose the contents of their van when they crossed the border. "They did not report that they were transporting the goods across the border from Norway to Sweden. You are accountable to report it to customs and pay the duty fee," Fredriksson said
New scratch-and-sniff cards for marijuana
Police in Northern Ireland are distributing scratch-and-sniff cards because they want more help from the public to find marijuana grow-ops. The Police Service of Northern Ireland says there's been a 44% increase in grow-ops in 2013/14 and they're finding two every week. The scratch-and-sniff cards include information about grow-ops and how to identify the signs and smells."The cards contain an element that replicates the smell of cannabis in its growing state which is a different smell to when it is being smoked," the press release says. "The new cards will enable members of the community to help tackle the drug problem in our society, by identifying criminal activity either near their own homes or in the areas where they work," Justice Minister David Ford said.

Why city is selling State of Kansas selling sex toys?
A sex toy auction is being held so the State of Kansas can recoup back taxes it was stiffed for by an erotica entrepreneur. The government is hoping to cash in after it seized thousands of sex toys and paraphernalia from a company that owes more than $160,000 in back taxes, cjonline.com reports. The owner of the delinquent company, United Outlets LLC operating under the name Bang, was given back the sexy inventory that was seized in July so he could hold an online auction to make repayments. The inventory -- including "premium" vibrators, books, DVDs, lingerie and kinky cuffs seized from five adult stores -- is for public viewing in a warehouse Monday and the auction is Tuesday. "What is different is the titillation factor of what we're selling," cjonline quotes Jeannine Koranda, spokesman for the Kansas revenue department. "This is an unusual lot of items."
