A load of meth from Mexico was hidden inside a shipment of cucumbers and bell peppers. It was discovered inside a tractor-trailer by U.S. Customs and Border Protection in the city of Pharr, located in South Texas, earlier this month.
According to KXAN, the truck, which was documented as only transporting fruit, had been inpected by an x-Ray scan and drug-sniffing dogs. That’s when authorities discovered 360 packages that had 578 pounds of methamphetamine inside. Its street value is $5,163,496.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection took possession of the drugs as Homeland Security started the investigation.
