Santa might say one holiday delivery was not very nice.

Peachtree City Police halted a holiday package with ten pounds of marijuana. They said officers were tipped off by a local carrier that drugs were being distributed in a shipment during the busy holiday season.

Dash cam video obtained by police shows officers following the vehicle once it was picked up, then stopping the car with spike strips as authorities surrounded the car. Officers popped open the trunk and found the packages.

"It was set up in an area that was safe. A lot of packages are coming into these stores," said Lt. Mike Brown, who said police cornered the suspects away from others who were picking up their holiday deliveries.

Georgia authorities said marijuana can run up to $500 to $4,000 on the streets.

Deaundre Jackson and Sanquelia Bell were booked into the Fayette County Jail on attempting to distribute and drug trafficking charges.

Police said the two are not saying what they were planning to do with ten pounds of marijuana.
