Fentanyl found stuffed in coconuts in Mexican truck
This drug bust was coco-nuts!
Police in Mexico found 660 pounds of fentanyl stuffed into coconuts and presumably headed to the US, authorities said.
Photos from the office of Mexico’s attorney general show a white box truck with a mound of coconuts beside it.
Agents wearing gloves could be seen in a video opening the coconuts to reveal plastic bags filled with the deadly narcotic.
Rows and rows of plastic bags were then lined up on the pavement.
The coconuts were discovered Thursday in a truck traveling on a highway in the northern border state of Sonora. The road goes to the town of Sonoyta which is across the border from Lukeville, Ariz.
Two people were arrested, authorities said.
Mexico is the biggest producer of fentanyl that reaches the United States.
