Officials recently encountered Halloween decorations that weren't what they seemed. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection found $402,196 of liquid meth in condoms packaged inside pumpkins at the Eagle Pass port of entry at the Texas-Mexico border, according to a news release.
"Our frontline CBP officers have seen just about everything and this Tuesday was no exception as they encountered liquid methamphetamine hidden within pumpkins," Elizabeth Garduno, port director of the Eagle Pass Port of Entry, said."They utilized their training, experience and interviewing skills and uncovered a rather novel narcotics smuggling method in the process."
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection is the unified border agency within the Department of Homeland Security. The department is charged with the comprehensive management, control and protection of the nation's borders, combining customs, immigration, border security, and agricultural protection at and between official ports of entry.
