Drug trafficking organizations keep turning to unconventional methods to conceal narcotics and avoid detection at U.S. ports of entry, including disguising large drug shipments as fruits and vegetables.
In February, Customs and Border Protection agents seized nearly two tons of methamphetamine hidden among a shipment of carrots. A similarly large seizure took place last week at the World Trade Bridge in Laredo, where agents found more than $16 million worth of methamphetamine concealed inside a frozen mango shipment.
