Smuggler Busted With Meth-Stuffed Burrito, Feds Say
Meanwhile over in Arizona a woman was busted for hiding meth in a burrito;
An Arizona woman tried to smuggle a methamphetamine-stuffed burrito into the U.S. from Mexico, but was thwarted when federal agents sniffed out her scheme, investigators report.
As detailed in a U.S. District Court complaint, Susy Laborin, 23, sought to enter the U.S. Saturday afternoon via a pedestrian gate at the border crossing in Nogales, Arizona.
Laborin, seen above, was “carrying a plastic bag containing burritos,” according to the complaint. But when a Customs and Border Protection officer examined the grub, the investigator discovered a bag of meth “concealed in the shape of a burrito.”
The meth, which weighed about a pound, is valued at more than $3000, CBP officials said.
