SALEM, MA — When Tammy Rosenblatt went to her mailbox Tuesday, she found a large envelope from Amazon but she hadn’t ordered anything.

Once inside, she found the envelope was already open and the contents were open as well. Then there was a small plastic bag with a three inch cylindrical piece of metal inside.

“When I opened it, this little box was open, inside, and this little clear plastic baggie was open inside,” said Rosenblatt.
