This reminds me of a case I got involved with many years ago.

A trooper in a neighboring state came across an unoccupied but overturned truck. The trooper continued to drive and came across two Mexican nationals.
He told them to get into the squad car. While inside, one of them asked the trooper if they were in trouble. The trooper in turn asked why would he ask that. The response was because of "the drugs in the truck." Turned out there was hundreds of kilo's of cocaine in the truck and they were transporting it.
I got involved because it was being managed and delivered to someone from within our jurisdiction.

Back to the OP. Not "silly police", but more along the lines of "lucky police."
