(Cincinnati, Oh.) - U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers stationed in Cincinnati have seized $1.2 million worth of methamphetamine.
Over the past five days, CBP officers have uncovered a total of 134 pounds of methamphetamine from nine separate shipments that were addressed to people in the United States and Australia.
The shipments were from Mexico and Canada.
Officers say they found the meth disguised as pastes, powders, and liquids, all intermingled with various dietary supplements and oils that were smuggled in cans of coconut water.
“Our officers are focused on their mission to protect our homeland,” said Cincinnati Port Director Richard Gillespie. “Smugglers constantly try to send illegal drugs into the country, but our officers are there to stop these dangerous narcotics from reaching our citizens.”
