Toronto police recovered a tractor-trailer with more than $243,000-worth of suspected stolen merchandise and made two arrests this week after executing a search warrant, and the list of recovered items is more than a little out of the ordinary. 

While police busts are commonly known to include illegal drugs, firearms and even exotic animals, officers in this case seized a pretty random array of objects, including but not limited to hundreds of washing machines, thousands of bottles of juice and skids of discount store merchandise.
