$19M in Marijuana Found in Mattress Truck at Mexican Border. SAY WHAT!?
Criminals can be smart. Key phrase is CAN BE. Looks like the criminals in the story below didn't do a good job of being smart. Maybe they smokes some of their cargo.
When’s a mattress truck not a mattress truck? When it’s carrying 15 tons of marijuana. That was what a truck labeled “mattresses and cushions“ was attempting to smuggle into California from Mexico Thursday when it was intercepted by customs agents. Valued at $18.96 million, the 31,598-pound bust is the second-largest in American history, topped only by a 35,265-pound bust at a nearby California border in 2013.
