Why is this a transaction suspicious? More info needed.

There certainly must be more to this story as it is obviously not a crime to ship coins from Texas to Wisconsin.

drug police came up on some loot and are either going to use the loot to hang a few more charges on someone or if they are not stolen, add the coins to their own departmental stack
