Marietta police are trying to determine how hundreds of pounds of marijuana ended up at bakery warehouse Friday morning.
An unexpected package arrived at the Flowers Baking Company location on Powers Ferry Road, and when employees opened it they found marijuana inside, Officer Michael Gardner said.
Employees called Marietta police who took possession of the marijuana.
"A transport company dropped off what appeared to be a suspicious pallet," Randy Brock, company president told the AJC. "Most of our shipments would come through our company."
There was no freshly baked bread in this package, Brock said from his Villa Rica office.
"When something comes in that we don't know about, we check it out," he said.
Police do not have suspects at this time and are still investigating the incident, Gardner said.

MARIETTA, Ga. -- A Marietta bakery is used to getting shipments of flour, sugar and other ingredients. But when employees opened a package Friday, they were shocked by what was inside.
The Flowers Baking Company, located on Powers Ferry Road, received a large package of marijuana at about 11:05 a.m. Friday, Marietta police confirmed to Channel 2 Action News.
Investigators said when employees opened the package, they found the marijuana and called police.
Police estimated the marijuana to be in the hundreds of pounds.
Channel 2 Action News reporter Jeff Dore spoke with Marietta Police Officer Michael Gardner, who said the bakery was received an unexpected package, which they employees thought contained parts to repair a loading dock. But instead, the package included marijuana mixed in with repair parts, bringing the total weight of the package to 600 lbs.
Investigators said the package was delivered from a private carrier service from a private distribution center that is not associated with Flowers Bakery.
No one was taken into custody, police said.
