Customs and Border
Protection officials found $18.5 million worth of methamphetamine in a
commercial load of carrots crossing into Pharr, Texas.
The shipment was
stopped at the Pharr-Reynosa International Bridge and searched at the port’s
cargo facility May 17, according to a CBP news release. A secondary inspection
of the tractor-trailer, using non-intrusive imaging equipment and a canine team
revealed 384 packages of methamphetamine in the trailer, weighing almost 930
pounds.
The vehicle and drugs
were seized by CBP officials and the case is under investigation by Homeland
Security Investigations, according to the release.
“This is truly a huge,
notable interception of hard narcotics accomplished by our frontline officers
in the cargo environment,” Sylvia Briones, Port of Hidalgo/ Pharr/Anzalduas
director, said in the release. “Our officers’ mindset and dedication is
genuinely apparent as evidenced by this outstanding seizure.”
menchos load?
ReplyDeleteIts unbelievable the amount of drugs coming in from Mexico. This seizure is one of many big catches recently by border security.
ReplyDeleteThis epidemic of staggering proportions America is facing is outweighing those seeking treatment due to its availability.
Death is definitely upon us. How we tackle and approach this problem will determine our fate as a country.

The only good thing is that the BP is realizing how the produce industry is enabling dope smuggling.
ReplyDeleteFree trade made it that much easier to smuggle into the US. With the cartel bosses getting much reduced sentences and then being able to bring their wives and kids into our country, what's the point of this so-called war on drugs anymore?
Someone’s pissed rite now!! Definitely not a gift load...
ReplyDelete:( the price of a 8 ball is going to go up
ReplyDelete8 ball,what a dummy! I guess ur fucked lol
DeleteThis big bust is just another indicator that America has a huge appetite for meth...And, that is the problem. "WHY"?
ReplyDeleteMexico-Watcher
Because too many Americans have a "living problem". They can't handle life on life's terms.
Delete11:39 America has a big appetite for meth because big US Pharma took its time addicting their clients by providing them with prescriptions, after they got their pharmaceutics approved by law
Deletethe US legislatures and the FDA, which is being used as an excuse by Johnson & Johnson for their eagerness in trafficking their goods.
This definitely wasn’t metros lol

I have been through that new imaging equipment/ technology. All commercial vehicles and others should go thru it.
ReplyDeleteCarrots ! what will they think of next ?
and you will soon hear the Alamo Police chief come out with a statement and taking credit for this bust. He will call the news channels and the monitor and give a phony story how his great work lead him to this shipment
ReplyDeleteAnother 3 tons passed right after that. Meth is cheap to produce.
ReplyDeleteValue of load is greatly exaggerated!!
ReplyDeleteCarrots are supposed to be dangled from the stick for peepol to follow,
ReplyDeleteand the sticks are supposed to be stuck up the followers ass without the carrot the first chance nobody is watching...
We need more drug interdiction technology at the border, I know there are shipments that get through the border everyday. Bring that # down to as little as possible, supply goes down & prices go up.
ReplyDeleteYeah I feel ya,
DeleteBut the flip side of that is price goes up, crime goes up too.
Just let people have there drugs. We don’t stop people from eating french fries, pizza, and a xl soda everyday. Yet heart disease is the number one killer.
Drugs aren’t illegal cause they’re dangerous. They’re illegal because it’s more profitable to the power’s that be to be for them to be illegal then legal. The revenue generated through the prison industrial complex, forfeiture and seizure, arms dealers working with both sides of the coin, and of course drug sales. Because you can bet your sweet ass that when they seize a ton of cocaine that they don’t really destroy it. No way that’s an insane amount of money, and not just any money, it’s off the books money. Money used to help fund black budget programs. The true purpose of the drug war
