CBP Seizes $31 Million Meth at Texas Border

In a significant effort to combat drug trafficking, Indian authorities seized approximately 700 kg of methamphetamine from an international drug cartel operating in Gujarat during a joint operation involving the NCB, Indian Navy, and ATS Gujarat Police. This seizure is part of Operation 'SAGAR-MANTHAN', which aims to address maritime drug trafficking and has led to the confiscation of over 3,400 kg of narcotics this year alone. Meanwhile, at the Texas-Mexico border, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers discovered 2,155 pounds of methamphetamine hidden in a shipment of serrano peppers, valued at over $31 million. This bust underscores the ongoing challenges faced by law enforcement in intercepting innovative smuggling methods. Both operations highlight the continued commitment of authorities in India and the U.S. to disrupt drug trafficking networks and protect public safety. Investigations are ongoing in both cases to identify further links to larger drug syndicates.
