U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers discovered over $10 million worth of methamphetamine and cocaine hidden in vats of jalapeño paste at the Otay Mesa Cargo Facility in San Diego. The shipment, found in a commercial tractor-trailer, contained over 3,000 pounds of methamphetamine and over 500 pounds of cocaine. The driver of the truck was turned over to Homeland Security Investigations for further processing. This seizure follows a series of successful drug busts in San Diego, including the recent seizure of over $239 million worth of cocaine by the U.S. Coast Guard.
