Packages labeled as limes and cactuses contained marijuana and meth worth $61 million
Searches of two big rigs headed into the United States at San Diego’s Otay Mesa border crossing netted two big hauls last week: 14,880 pounds of pot in lime boxes in one truck and 668 pounds of meth inside cactus crates in another.
The first happened about 8 a.m., when agents at the border crossing pulled aside a semi truck for a closer look. In total, those green packages concealed 688 pounds of methamphetamine. The drugs are worth $1.5 million on the street. They were supposed to find limes. Instead they found 622 large, taped-up packages that held 14,880 pounds of pot worth $60 million on the street.
