Prosecutors in Mexico say police found 660 pounds of fentanyl pills packed into coconuts.

The coconuts were found in a truck traveling on a highway in the northern border state of Sonora.

Prosecutors said the truck was detected Thursday on a road that runs along the Gulf of California, also known as the Sea of Cortez.

According to photos of the bust, the coconut husks had been neatly split in half, and re-assembled with plastic bags of fentanyl pills inside. The road eventually leads to the border town of Sonoyta, across the border from Lukeville, Arizona.

A bit surprised they couldn’t find a way to pack 6 more pounds into them.

It would have to be. A 5 ounce bird cannot carry a 1 lb. coconut.

If a coconut weighs 1.5 pounds how many coconuts do you need to pack 660 pounds of fentanyl?

Feed it to the terrorist transporting it.
On the spot, no appeal.

Wait until the cartel terrorists start polluting our reservoirs, lakes, water treatment plants etc with tons of Fentanyl powder, endangering millions. They’ll make muslim(SPIT!) terrorists seem like chumps.

There is a town on the Sea of Cortez named Puerto Penasco. Arizonans drive their to play golf. But there is a road going from Puerto Penasco to Tucson then Phoenix. A drug superhighway. Damn the Chinese!!!!
