U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers allegedly discovered Sunday night nearly 50 pounds of methamphetamine in an ice chest full of fish, ABC News reported.
CBP said a 34-year-old man was allegedly attempting to smuggle in the drugs through the southern border with Mexico in 25 packages in the ice chest, the outlet noted. The agency found the drugs using routine screening procedures, ABC News reported.
“In the secondary inspection area, a non-intrusive inspection of the vehicle was conducted,” CBP said in a statement Wednesday, according to ABC News. “CBP officers utilized the port’s imaging system to screen the vehicle and observed irregularities within an ice chest found in the vehicle’s trunk. A CBP K-9 team responded and alerted to the presence of narcotics.”
