>> THIS IS THE LARGEST METH SEIZURE WE'VE EVER HAD HERE IN
DETAIL. AND AND IT IS THE 3RD LARGEST SEIZURE TOTAL, THE
WHITE OF METHAMPHETAMINE. DEA SPECIAL AGENT ROBERT MURPHY
SAYS THE JOINT EFFORT RESULTED IN 3 MILLION DOLLARS OF METH
BEING TAKEN OFF THE STREETS. WE RECEIVED INFORMATION THAT
LED US TO A TRACTOR TRAILER WAS COMING ACROSS THE MEXICAN
BORDER. WE WEREN'T SURE ON THE DESTINATION AND WE WERE ABLE TO
TO PUT IT DOWN AT A LARGE DELIVERY AT THE BERLIN FARMERS
MARKET.
>> THE 2,300 POUNDS OF METH WAS HIDDEN IN A SHIPMENT OF CELERY
WHICH OFFICIALS SAY WAS DRIVEN FROM MEXICO TO THE ALANIS
FARMERS MARKET IN CLAYTON COUNTY.
>> IT IS THE PRODUCE TERMINAL FOR THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED
STATES. AND IF DRUGS ARE MOVING THROUGH THEIR AIR, THERE IS A
POSSIBILITY FOR FOOD CONTAMINATION AND WE KNOW THAT.
SO IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE KEEP OUR CONSUMERS SAFE.
>> AGRICULTURAL OFFICIALS SAY THE ENTIRE LOAD OF CELERY THAT
THE METH WAS PACKED IN WAS DESTROYED AND NOW THEY HAVE A
MESSAGE FOR THE CARTEL RESPONSIBLE.
>> TO THOSE THAT WANT TO USE AGRICULTURE IS A MEANS TO AN
END AND A COVER FOR CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. YOU WILL BE CALL YOU
WILL BE PROSECUTED AND YOU WILL GO TO PRISON
