DEA seizes 2,380 lbs of meth in GA, their 3rd largest bust ever. Mexican Cartel hid them in celery shipment.
Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents just scored big in Georgia, seizing a massive 2,380 pounds of meth. It's the DEA's third-largest meth seizure ever (the largest in Atlanta's history).
The sheer scale of the operation caught officials off guard.
"This is the largest meth seizure at DEA Atlanta," said Special Agent Robert Murphy.
Most big busts happen at borders or ports. This one? Several states inland.
Murphy noted, "This cartel was very confident in what they been doing to send this much at one time."
The smugglers tried to blend in with celery. But Georgia's not having it. Agriculture Commissioner Tyler Harper warned:
"You will be caught; you will be prosecuted, and you will go to prison."
This seizure deals a major blow to cartel operations. It shows they're getting bolder, pushing deeper into the U.S. But law enforcement is stepping up its game too.
As the dust settles, one thing's clear: the war on drugs is far from over. It's just moved to new battlegrounds – like your local farmer's market.
