Border officials in Texas make largest cocaine bust in 20 years inside baby wipe shipment
2022-09-01
[FoxNews] 1,935 packages of cocaine worth an estimated $11,818,400 seized near Laredo, Texas.

The seizure happened Friday at the Colombia-Solidarity Bridge near Laredo when a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer referred a 2016 Stoughton trailer for a secondary inspection, CBP said in a news release on Monday.

The trailer’s manifest said it was hauling baby wipes, but a canine and non-intrusive inspection found a trove of illicit narcotics — 1,935 packages of cocaine, CBP said.

CBP officers seized the cocaine, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement-Homeland Security Investigations special agents are investigating the seizure, the release said.

#2  It's often cut with mannitol (baby laxative), maybe they're just doing a package deal: shits and wipes
