Border patrol agents in Texas seized more than $4 million worth of suspected methamphetamine hidden inside a tractor-trailer carrying "funky pickles," officials said.
On April 17, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers inspected a tractor-trailer hauling a shipment of pickled cucumbers at the Pharr-Reynose International Bridge cargo facility, the agency said.
After imaging the shipment, authorities said they found 114 packages of suspected methamphetamine, worth $4,343,000, hidden with the fresh produce, officials said.
“This substantial quantity of hard narcotics will not make its final destination in the United States,” Port Director Carlos Rodriguez said.
