An employee of a US McDonald’s restaurant has been charged with selling heroin in child-oriented Happy Meals to customers using a coded request.
Customers at the Pittsburgh restaurant looking for heroin were instructed to go through the drive-through and say, “I’d like to order a toy,” said a spokesman for the District Attorney.
The customer would then drive to the window, hand over the money and get a Happy Meal box containing heroin in exchange.
Undercover agents set up a drug buy and arrested Shania Dennis (26).
Ms Dennis denied wrongdoing to reporters as she was being led away in handcuffs.
Authorities said they found 10 bags of heroin in a Happy Meal box and recovered another 50 bags from the suspect.
