The Special Services Division and the K-9 Unit of the the Norwalk Police Department recently conducted package inspections at Fed Ex in Stamford. This is in response to a recent complaints of “dead drops” throughout Norwalk. A “dead drop” is when a drug dealer uses a parcel delivery company to ship drugs.
Typically the packages are shipped to a false address. The dealer will track the package online and then retrieve it once it has been delivered.
