U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers at the Pharr International Bridge seized nearly $15 million in methamphetamine hidden in a shipment labeled as fresh celery. The interception occurred on August 15 when a tractor trailer from Reynosa, Mexico was subjected to a secondary inspection due to irregularities detected by scanning equipment. Officers discovered 721 packages of meth weighing a total of 1,675.51 pounds (760 kg). Port Director Carlos Rodriguez emphasized the effectiveness of combining human expertise with advanced technology in combating drug smuggling. The narcotics and the vehicle were confiscated, and a criminal investigation has been initiated by Homeland Security Investigations.
