Customs officers in San Diego have seized over $5 million worth of methamphetamines (often known as crystal meth) disguised as watermelons. A 29-year-old man attempted to smuggle the drugs across the US-Mexico border. However, further inspection revealed 1,220 packages wrapped to resemble watermelons, containing 2,080 kg of methamphetamine. This seizure highlights the evolving smuggling techniques used by drug cartels. The officers confiscated the drugs and the tractor-trailer, handing the driver over to Homeland Security Investigations. They were commended for their diligence in intercepting these sophisticated smuggling efforts. This success follows the recent seizure of 285 kg of meth hidden among celery, demonstrating the ongoing battle against drug trafficking.
