Agents with U.S. Customs and Border Protection captured more than 1,000 lbs of methamphetamine and over 100 lbs of cocaine in a single seizure valued at over $10.2 million.
CBP conducted the seizure on Dec. 21 after one officer noticed a 2001 Freightliner tractor hauling a utility refrigerated trailer, according to a Tuesday release from the agency.

A manifest documented the shipment of cut flowers, but the officer referred the vehicle for a secondary inspection, which led to a canine search and the discovery of roughly 165 lbs of powdered methamphetamine, close to 854 lbs of crystal methamphetamine, and over 165 lbs of cocaine, the release noted.
"The narcotics combined had a street value of $10,298,520," according to CBP.
