Get high on Watermelons

At the beginning on June our CBP report how they found 2,956 pounds of marijuana in a truck loaded with watermelons.  A 27year old Mexican male truck driver tried to get pass the CBP at the Mariposa commerical checkpoint in Nogales, Arizona.

Acting Nogales Area Port Director Craig Hope said this seizure adds to a list of large narcotics seizures at the ports in Nogales.

“Since the beginning of the fiscal year, Mariposa CBP officers have intercepted 13 attempts to smuggle large amounts marijuana mixed in commercial shipments into United States,” he said. “They have prevented more than 47,550 pounds of the dangerous narcotics worth an estimated at $24 million, from entering our communities.”

It was a real good idea to let truck from Mexico cross our borders, how many actually got through loaded with drugs, humans or what ever illegal items is any ones guess.
