Cincinnati CBP teams: No, drugs are not vital!


On 15 September, US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers in Cincinnati seized a shipment containing 13 kg of cocaine concealed in 11 pouches labelled as shelf-stable "emergency food rations". The cocaine has a street value of USD 952,200.

 

The pouches were part of a shipment of survival gear containing buckets, canteens, and other items headed from a fictitious address in Fullerton, CA to a private residence in Australia.

 

The following day, the same CBP office intercepted narcotics in a shipment of powdered drinks imported from Mexico.

 

The shipment contained 6.8 kg of methamphetamine, with a street value of roughly USD 230,400. CBP narcotic detector dog Bruno alerted to a package destined to a private residence in Houston, TX, containing 18 foil packets labelled as "various powdered drinks". (ah)
