Another local drug bust

From the Bellingham Herald:

Border agents in Blaine find million-dollar drug stash in abandoned car
A car that sped away from Border Patrol agents Sunday night, March 25, was later found abandoned at a rest area, along with the bags of methamphetamine and opium alkaloids inside it.

The agents had stopped the car on the D Street onramp to Interstate 5, but as an agent walked up the car sped off. It was found a short time later at a rest area.

Two large bags inside contained more than 60,000 opium tablets and about 77 pounds of a white, powdery substance that tested positive for meth, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Someone is ticked off somewhere -- that was a big load to lose. The idea that they could just drive it through the border crossing is insane -- shows you what kind of mentality you are dealing with.
