According to authorities, a trucker was transporting the drugs under a load of Mexican squash. A Customs inspector was suspicious of the haul, and the truck was sent through an X ray, inspected by a K-9 and officers.
Customs officials say fruit and vegetable shipments from Mexico peak in the winter, so drug smugglers may be more likely to try to move drug loads, hoping their illegal load will slip through with a surge of legitimate cargo.
