Border officers in Southern California made a significant drug bust, seizing almost 3,000 pounds of methamphetamine with a street value in the millions of dollars. The drugs were discovered concealed within a shipment of carrots at the Otay Mesa Commercial Facility near San Diego, as reported by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
The interception took place just before noon on a Sunday when CBP officers stopped a 44-year-old man driving a commercial tractor trailer loaded with a shipment listed as carrots. Despite the driver possessing a valid border crossing card, suspicions arose, leading to a secondary inspection of both the driver and the cargo.
