奥泰梅萨口岸查获近1600磅冰毒：藏在墨西哥酸浆货中 估值250万美元
位于加州圣迭戈县的San Diego市，美国海关与边境保护局（CBP）10月16日发布消息，本周，该局执法人员在加州San Diego的奥泰梅萨入境口岸（Otay Mesa Port of Entry）查获近1,600磅冰毒，估值约250万美元。这批毒品藏在一批商业货运货物之中——货单上装载的是墨西哥酸浆（tomatillos，又称绿番茄）。
奥泰梅萨口岸位于San Diego市南部、紧邻美墨边境，是南加州最繁忙的商业货运口岸之一，每天有大量载运农产品与工业品的卡车从墨西哥入境美国，CBP执法人员在此对入境车辆与货物实施查验。CBP官员就此次查获举行了记者会。
CBP表示，该局将继续在各入境口岸打击利用合法货运渠道走私毒品的行为。此案的更多细节，CBP未在摘要中披露。（GSM 据美国海关与边境保护局发布）
CBP Seizes Nearly 1,600 Pounds of Meth Hidden in Tomatillo Shipment at Otay Mesa Port of Entry, Worth $2.5 Million
San Diego is a city in San Diego County, California. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced on Oct. 16 that its officers at the Otay Mesa port of entry in San Diego, California, seized nearly 1,600 pounds of methamphetamine this week, with an estimated value of about $2.5 million. The narcotics were concealed within a commercial shipment of tomatillos.
The Otay Mesa port of entry, on San Diego's southern edge along the U.S.-Mexico border, is one of Southern California's busiest commercial cargo crossings, where CBP officers inspect trucks carrying produce and manufactured goods into the United States. CBP officials held a press conference on the seizure.
CBP said it will continue targeting attempts to smuggle narcotics through legitimate cargo channels at ports of entry nationwide. The agency did not release further details in its summary. (GSM, based on a U.S. Customs and Border Protection release)
