CINCINNATI (AP) — U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials say officers in Cincinnati intercepted more than 50 pounds of methamphetamine concealed inside a statue of a snail.
Authorities say the package, which came from Mexico and was labeled “Mexican stone crafts,” contained a decorative snail statue that exhibited “interior anomalies” during an X-ray inspection.
Customs officers drilled a hole and found 53 pounds of a white crystalline powder that tested positive for meth.
The snail’s intended destination was Lawrenceville, Georgia.
