Border Patrol Seizes 7,300 Pounds of Grass
November 26th, 2008 by AlexAt the Otay Mesa Port of Entry, Customs & Border Patrol agents stopped two passenger vans loaded with more than $3.3 million worth of marijuana.
According to the article in the San Diego Union-Tribune:
Each van was “just filled” with wrapped packages of marijuana, Bond said. “… Whereas in a cargo port you may get 10,000 or 15,000 pounds of marijuana in a truck, you never see that in a passenger car for obvious reasons.”
Why do you never see that? Because it’s an extremely stupid thing to do. I guess the old ‘this is such a stupid thing to do that I’m going to do it anyway because no one would believe people can be that moronic so they won’t pay attention‘ logic didn’t quite pass the test.
A third arrest rounded out a big day of seizures for the CBP, when an American citizen living in Tijuana crossed the border using the swift-passage SENTRI system and was found with 255 pounds of pot hidden all over a gold 2005 Nissan truck.
That’s not exactly a low-key vehicle, but it’s not the bling that tipped off the drug-sniffing dog to the payload. The K9 did its job and led to the seizure of $115,000 worth of marijuana.
Sounds like more than few muchachos are going to struggle to find something to be grateful about this Thanksgiving.
