From Fox News: U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers in Eagle Pass, Texas, intercepted nearly 90 pounds of liquid methamphetamine this week, uncovering the narcotics hidden inside plastic bottles during a vehicle inspection, officials said.

The discovery was made Oct. 29 at the Camino Real International Bridge when officers referred a 2008 Chevrolet Suburban for secondary inspection.

A closer search revealed five plastic bottles containing 88.8 pounds of methamphetamine with an estimated street value of $816,556, CBP said in a statement.

“This significant seizure was possible because of the continued vigilance and alertness our CBP officers put forth on a daily basis,” Port Director Pete Beattie of the Eagle Pass Port of Entry said.


DHS posted photos on X Friday and wrote, “When there’s something strange, in a vehicle, who you gonna call? Meth Busters!

“Earlier this week, CBP officers in Eagle Pass found and seized 88.8 lbs of methamphetamine with an estimated street value of over $816k.
Thanks to CBP’s vigilant efforts, this deadly drug won’t reach America’s streets.”
