EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) — A pair of drug busts at a Texas border crossing netted nearly two tons of narcotics with an estimated street value of more than $53 million.
Both seizures took place on Nov. 12 "at the World Trade Bridge" in Laredo, Texas, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said.
Earlier that day, border officers inspected a tractor-trailer transporting a shipment of fresh cauliflower from Mexico. A drug-sniffing dog and an X-ray helped border officers uncover hundreds of packages of drugs.
The semi allegedly was hauling 412 packages containing 2,611 pounds of methamphetamine and another 50 containing 113.31 pounds of cocaine. The drugs had a combined estimated street value of more than $53 million.

That’s going to spoil someone’s Thanksgiving
Pot is harmless...
