If you notice someone leaving, hiding, or picking up a suspicious package, it may indicate illegal drug activity.
If you discover such a stash or witness it being planted:
Punishment for drug crimes can be up to 20 years of imprisonment with confiscation of property.
Given this, you must avoid any illegal actions related to such packages.
