Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents seized over $15 million worth of methamphetamine inside a tractor trailer transporting carrots, the agency announced.
The incident took place last week at the Pharr International Bridge cargo facility in Texas. There, an officer referred the trailer for further inspection, which ended up with the discovery of more than 300 packages of the drug with a combined weight of some 774 kilos. The agency added that the estimated street value of the drug stands above $15 million.
