U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers at the Pharr International Bridge between South Texas and Mexico discovered a shipment of over $14 million worth of methamphetamine, which was concealed in a shipment of vegetables.

The discovery of the drugs within shipments of bell peppers and cucumbers was made on April 11, when CBP officers assigned to the international bridge cargo facility encountered a tractor trailer entering the U.S. from Mexico.

After inspecting the truck, a CBP officer referred the 18-wheeler for further inspection.

The secondary inspection involved physically inspecting the truck using non-intrusive equipment as well as a canine team.
