Woodbridge Weed Woes: The Shed That Solved a Crime

WOODBRIDGE, CT — In a tale that smells more like a stoner sitcom than suburban crime, police in Woodbridge stumbled upon a group of teens after following the unmistakable scent of marijuana near Woodfield Road. Officers approached a suspiciously parked car in the woods, prompting a classic scatter-and-dash from its youthful occupants. But while most fled into the trees, one unfortunate accomplice decided to hide in a nearby shed—only to accidentally lock himself inside.

When officers eventually discovered the impromptu prisoner, they also uncovered a BB gun, marijuana, and drug paraphernalia, confirming this wasn’t just a game of hide-and-seek gone wrong. All individuals involved were under 18, which meant parents got the kind of call no one wants: “Hi, we’ve found your child… in a shed… next to a bong.”

No injuries were reported, but the psychological damage from being outwitted by a garden shed may linger. As of now, charges are pending, and the shed—now the unlikeliest of crime-fighting heroes—remains at large.
