The rodents are enjoying marijuana at the Houston Police Department that has been sitting in evidence for years.

The Houston Police Department says its methods for storing seized drugs have gone up in smoke after it was discovered that rats have been crawling through evidence lockers with a major case of the munchies and gobbling up the marijuana being stored in criminal cases.

A rat colony in a downtown Houston police property room has compromised a bag of mushrooms intended as evidence against two defendants.

The Houston Police Department is addressing its overcrowded property room, which is attracting "drug-addicted rats."
