U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) seized more than 660 pounds of methamphetamine worth nearly $6 million from a single truck at the U.S.–Mexico border, the agency shared exclusively with The Epoch Times on Friday.

The drug bust came after an officer referred the commercial truck, which was hauling a shipment of powder coating, for further inspection at the World Trade Bridge in Laredo, Texas. This latest encounter came as the Trump administration made increasing amounts of illegal narcotics seizures across the country.
