US Customs and Border Protection officers have seized nearly $3 million worth of methamphetamine hidden in small packages within a shipment of onions at a commercial facility in San Diego, the agency said.
Federal officers at the Otay Mesa port-of-entry facility last Sunday encountered a 46-year-old man who was driving a tractor trailer containing a large shipment "manifested as onions," Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced in a news release Friday.
During an initial inspection of the vehicle, one officer directed the driver and shipment to a more intensive examination conducted by the agency's K-9 team, the release said.
