I haven't seen this before . Pretty filthy too judging by the fingers wedged between the hatch frame and the insulsted inner hatch door . Not all hatch doors were 2 parters were they ?

I would post that photo on the Yahoo "Reefer Madness" group.  Sure someone there could answer your question.  Interesting photo with police.  Any idea what was going on?

I see fingers sticking out of the hatch. Escapees?
