Hallan 300 libras de droga en cargamento de zanahorias en Texas
CBP en Pharr, Texas, incauta 2.6 millones en metanfetamina ocultos en zanahorias. Tecnología avanzada y equipos K9 frustran este millonario intento de contrabando desde México
TEXAS.- Oficiales de Aduanas y Protección Fronteriza (CBP) en Pharr, desmantelaron un sofisticado intento de contrabando al hallar más de 2.6 millones en metanfetamina ocultos dentro de un cargamento de zanahorias.
Operativo en el Puente de Pharr: El ingenio criminal contra la tecnología de CBP
El pasado 30 de marzo, la vigilancia en la instalación de carga del Puente Internacional Pharr permitió la interceptación de un cargamento masivo de narcóticos.
La droga estaba camuflada en un camión comercial que transportaba vegetales desde México.
Carlos Rodríguez, Director del Puerto (Hidalgo/Pharr/Anzalduas), destacó que, aunque los grupos criminales buscan constantemente nuevas formas de evadir la ley, el uso de tecnología avanzada y la experiencia de los oficiales lograron frustrar este millonario envío.
¿Cómo detectaron la droga en el cargamento de zanahorias?
El incidente comenzó cuando un tractocamión comercial, procedente de Reynosa, México, fue enviado a una inspección secundaria en el muelle de descarga.
Durante el proceso, los oficiales utilizaron equipos de inspección no intrusivos y el apoyo vital de un equipo canino (K9). La combinación de estas herramientas permitió identificar anomalías en la carga que, a simple vista, parecía ser solo un envío legítimo de zanahorias.
Más de 1,000 paquetes de metanfetamina confiscados
La inspección física detallada llevó al descubrimiento de 1,055 paquetes de presunta metanfetamina. El peso total del narcótico alcanzó las 297.62 libras (135 kg).
Según estimaciones oficiales, el valor de esta droga en el mercado negro asciende a los $2,660,580 de dólares.
