Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers at the Pharr International Bridge in Texas intercepted a significant amount of methamphetamine with an estimated value of $31,169,000 concealed within a shipment of peppers. The discovery was made during a routine inspection at the port of entry on Sunday.
The tractor trailer, arriving from Mexico, was flagged for inspection upon attempting to enter the U.S. through the Pharr International Bridge cargo facility. CBP officers utilized non-intrusive inspection equipment during the examination, leading to the discovery of the illicit drugs.
