SAN DIEGO (Border Report) — U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at the Otay Mesa Cargo facility discovered more than $10 million worth of methamphetamine and cocaine hidden in a shipment of jalapeño paste Wednesday morning.

According to CBP, officers encountered a 28-year-old male driving a commercial tractor-trailer claiming he was hauling barrels filled with jalapeño paste.

A CBP K-9 unit screened the shipment and reportedly alerted officers.

Why bother with jalapeño paste when you can just carry it across the border in your backpack?
