Authorities in Southern California seized nearly 1,400 pounds of methamphetamine disguised as onions last week, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials.
The drugs were worth an estimated $2.9 million.
Sidney Aki, director of field operations in San Diego told CBS News, it was a “clever” attempt to try and hide the narcotics in and around sacks of onions.
A 46-year-old Mexican citizen who was driving the vehicle was arrested.
