U.S. Customs and Border Protection said officers intercepted a tractor-trailer at the Pharr International Bridge cargo facility in Pharr, Texas.
More than $18 million worth of hard drugs—including mostly methamphetamine, but also heroin and cocaine—have been seized after being found hidden in a shipment of fresh broccoli aboard a tractor-trailer at the U.S.-Mexico border.
A CBP officer had referred the trailer for further examination, the agency said in a news release. Officers then used non-intrusive imaging equipment to discover that a"significant" amount of hard narcotics had been hidden inside the trailer. The CBP said 341 of the seized packages contained alleged methamphetamine, weighing 895 pounds and valued at $18 million.
