Police place Cheetos traps in effort to catch 420 day participants

WYOMING, Minn. – April 20 has become synonymous with marijuana, with pot users commonly referring to it as 420 day.

The Wyoming Police Department has decided to approach this subject with a little humor.

On Thursday, the Wyoming Police Department posted several tweets, including an “undercover” operation aimed at trapping marijuana users with snacks and video games.
