These solar panels need some tweaking.
US Customs and Border Protection seized nearly 300 pounds of methamphetamine that was hidden in a shipment of solar panels, the agency announced.
Officers intercepted the illicit, faux-green shipment at Los Angeles International Airport on Monday morning — and trolled the unidentified drug traffickers on social media.
“We do this every day. These ‘criminal masterminds’ never stood a chance,” CBP gloated in a post on Facebook.
Photos showed CBP officers pulling apart rectangular, aluminum-lined solar panels in which the massive trove of highly addictive drugs was secreted in tidy bricks.
The high-energy shipment was destined for New Zealand, officials said, citing “prior intel.”
Officials did not announce any arrests associated with the bust.
CBP has made a habit of touting victories with flourish.
Last week, the agency mocked an alleged illegal alien who wore an American flag T-shirt when he was apprehended in Buffalo, New York.
The post 300 pounds of meth hidden in solar panels seized at LAX by Border Patrol appeared first on New York Post.
