Border Patrol Agents Find 300 Lbs. Of Drugs in Bizarre Spot

Border agents at LAX airport in Los Angeles confiscated 300 pounds of drugs hidden in a peculiar location, reported The New York Post.

On Monday, July 21, agents with the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) office seized 300 pounds of methamphetamine hidden within a box of solar panels. Pictures show the rimming of one panel pulled back to reveal aluminum packets of drugs within. Though the culprits have yet to be identified, that didn't stop CBP from poking fun at them on social media. "We do this every day. These ‘criminal masterminds' never stood a chance," the post read. 

Thanks to "prior intel," authorities knew the package was headed for New Zealand and were able to "intercept" it before the drugs made their way onto the street. There have been no arrests in connection with the drug bust, but an investigation to locate those responsible is still underway. The CBP did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Men's Journal.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Just watch "To Catch a Smuggler" on TV - there are plenty of peculiar ways to attempt to smuggle drugs.
