First off, holy fuck! Why can’t I be lucky for once. Anyways, after pulling over a vehicle in Southern Cali, authorities say they found 1,815 pounds of marijuana hidden in a shipment of scrap metal headed for the United States via Mexico, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
“CBP officers discovered 64 foil wrapped bundles concealed in metal boxes that were mixed within the crates of scrap,” the agency said in a statement. “During an inspection of the conveyance, and following an alert from a CBP human-narcotics detector dog, officers discovered 64 foil wrapped bundles concealed in metal boxes that were mixed within the crates of scrap.”
The policemen that made the arrest said the cannabis was worth roughly $726,000.
“Out of the hundreds of shipments that the officers saw that day, they identified that this shipment needed to be stopped,” said Director of Field Operations for San Diego and Imperial Counties, Pete Flores. “As a result, the officers prevented almost a ton of marijuana from entering U.S. communities, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in potential profit from reaching criminal organizations.”
Now, I’m no genius, but if weed were legal this wouldn’t have even happened… Just saying.
