Searches of two big rigs headed into the United States at the Otay Mesa border crossing netted two big hauls last week: 14,880 pounds of pot in lime boxes in one truck, 668 pounds of meth inside cactus crates in another.

Federal officers foiled the smuggling attempts at two separate stops Friday, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials said in a news release Tuesday.

The first happened about 8 a.m., when agents at the U.S.-Mexico border crossing pulled aside a semi truck for a closer look.

The manifest indicated the truck was hauling crates of cactus pads.

But mixed in among the plants were green packages — 590 of them — the same size as the cactus pads.

In total, those green packages concealed 688 pounds of methamphetamine. The drugs are worth $1.5 million on the street.

The bigger haul came hours later, about 6:30 p.m. Friday evening. This time, officers caught “anomalies” during an X-ray scan of a northbound big rig. They decided to take a look inside.

They were supposed to find limes. They found 622 large, taped-up packages.

It was 14,880 pounds of pot worth $60 million on the street.

“International drug trafficking organizations will use whatever means they can think of to try and move their illicit shipments into the U.S.,” said San Diego CBP Director of Field Operations Pete Flores.

“CBP officers dedicate their careers to protecting our country by securing the border, Flores said. “For them, these unusual seizures are all in a day’s work.”
