Summary
U.S. Border Patrol agents discovered two backpacks containing $1.1 million worth of cocaine in a wooded area near Lynden, Washington, close to the Canadian border.
The backpacks held 30 brick-like packages of cocaine, which were tested and handed over to the DEA for processing.
Officials did not report any arrests connected to the discovery.
This is pretty much the norm.
Like, “dead drops” have a lot of good reasons to be a thing. If you’re snuggling over a million worth of coke between Canada and America, it’s not a small time operation, they might do this weekly. It’s better to lose product than someone get caught and talk or a handoff goes wrong.
This is just breakage.
Could even be a distraction from something bigger. Drug smugglers are amazingly crafty and innovative. They have to be in order to keep the product flowing.
