Oh mon dieu! You will not believe what some of our French friends have been using printed T-shirts for…..Only to help smuggle drugs!
After a high speed car chase, police in Marseille inspected the contents of the criminal’s car after he had fled the scene. In addition to finding half a kilogram of cannabis, police were also puzzled to find a bag full of printed T-shirts in the abandoned vehicle. After later inspection it was discovered that the text on the shirts matched the registration numbers of unmarked police cars used in the Marseille area.
It is suspected that the T-shirts were to be distributed amount drug dealers as a way to help each other avoid discovery and certain arrest. A representative of the police trade union commented on how drug dealers would normally use graffiti on walls as a means of avoiding the uncover vehicles and would reserve printed clothes for witty insults. Oooh la la!.
If you read this story, you might think that I’m suggesting to people that using clothes2order could be a great way to keep a secret drug empire under wraps. That wasn’t my intention (please don’t!). I was purely trying to keep you up-to-date with the weird and wonderful world of T-shirts. I hope you enjoyed!
