Police in Mission, B.C., say they are seeking the owner of half a kilogram of cocaine that was hidden in a public restroom鈥檚 ceiling and anyone who wants to claim the drugs should bring 鈥減roof of purchase.鈥�

RCMP Cpl. Harrison Mohr says officers will be happy to set up an interview at the owner鈥檚 convenience.

Cocaine was discovered in the ceiling of a public bathroom in Mission last week.

According to a Facebook post from Mission RCMP, the detachment received reports last Thursday morning (Nov. 16) that multiple packages of drugs had been found in a public restroom.

Police say a maintenance person opened up a ceiling panel while working and found half a kilogram of cocaine split into multiple packages.

Mission RCMP suspect the drugs were placed in the ceiling by a drug dealer for another dealer to pick up.

In the release, the detachment stressed the dangers of leaving toxic drugs in a place where an unsuspecting member of the public could be unknowingly exposed.

Mohr says whoever hid the drugs hasn鈥檛 been identified, but 鈥渏ail cell number three鈥� is waiting for anyone who wants to claim them.

Those with information can contact Mission RCMP at 604-826-7161 .
