Pumpkins with liquid meth-filled condoms seized at Mexican border in Maverick County, US Border Patrol says
U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents at Eagle Pass Port of Entry seized four pumpkins with surprises inside them, and it wasn't Halloween candy, according to officials.
The pumpkins seized Tuesday were filled with 136 condoms containing $402,196 worth of liquid methamphetamine, officials said in a news release. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers discovered nearly 44 pounds of liquid methamphetamine within condoms inside pumpkins in a passenger vehicle at Eagle Pass Port of Entry on Tuesday, Oct. 11.“Our frontline CBP officers have seen just about everything and this Tuesday was no exception as they encountered liquid methamphetamine hidden within pumpkins,” Port Director Elizabeth Garduno said in the release.
CBP officers assigned to Eagle Pass Camino Real International Bridge in Maverick County encountered a 2012 Ford Escape arriving from Mexico. After a CBP officer referred the vehicle for further inspection and a second examination was conducted, officers seized a total of nearly 44 pounds of liquid methamphetamine, according to the release.
CBP Office of Field Operations seized the narcotics, Ford and turned the driver and passenger over to the custody of Maverick County Sheriff’s Office for further investigation, the release said.
