US Customs and Border Protection officers seized nearly two tons of marijuana packed in phony limes near the Texas-Mexico border last week, according to authorities.
The 3,947 pounds of weed came through a commercial shipment of key limes in Pharr, Texas, on Jan. 30, officials said.
The truck hauling the "produce" crossed the Pharr-Reynosa International Bridge along the Texas-Mexico border near the Gulf of Mexico. Over 34,000 of the fake fruit packages were discovered by an imaging inspection system and narcotics K-9 team.

Amazing had bad your eyesight is when your handed $10000
You know you can order it online right?
I’m in agreement with you. It would be like trying to smuggle in Budweiser
You got out of Miami? I’m stuck in Hollywood. What was your escape route? Did you flee at night? How much did you pay the smuggler? Where exactly is the border? Should I bring the flags when I flee?
I was born and raised in Miami.
Got more and more dissatisfied with life there. My only escape was our sailboat. Used to sail around Key Largo primarily.
Anyway, in 1982 a friend was getting married in Raleigh and we went to the wedding .
Fell in love with the area and we moved in 1984. Had lined up a job before we moved and away we went.
There are a few things I miss. Key limes, good Fla avocados, good mangoes and sailing the Keys
We finally got Publix stores here and that was a big plus for me. .
We went down to the Delray area about 5 yrs ago. Drove around some in the Hollywood, Lauderdale area.
I was shocked at how much it has grown.
Heck, I remember when US441 was the edge of the boonies. Beyond it was Everglades.
Got out of Florida almost 50 years ago and swore the only way I would go back is if the plane carrying my dead ass had to stop for fuel on the way to somewhere else.
Born and raised in Hialeah. Moved to Hollywood in 88. Live out by the college. Wasn’t bad until after hurricane Andrew. Now we got houses all the way to US 27.
My dad was born in Allapatta 1930s, mom too.
Dad went to Jackson high, mom went to edison
