TEXAS – Don’t squeeze these limes over your tacos. Uncovering a shady shipment of limes at the border of Texas and Mexico, authorities have seized a load of nearly 4,000 pounds of marijuana that were conveniently packaged to look like the fruit. 

"This is an outstanding interception of narcotics," Port director Efrain Solis Jr. said in a statement. "Our CBP officers continue to excel in their knowledge of smuggling techniques which allows them to intercept these kinds of attempts to introduce narcotics into our country."

So, just what made this shipment so notable? Agents of the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol stated that the small parcels of marijuana were packaged to specifically look like individual limes. Authorities seized over 34,000 nefarious lime bundles in the bust. 

The shipment was attempting to cross the Pharr-Reynosa International Bridge. Authorities have valued the shipment of faux limes of having a street worth of about $789,467. 

The seizure occurred this past Monday after officials were first tipped off by the suspicious nature of the involved tractor-trailor's interior. Vice reported that officials used an imaging inspection system and K-9 team to discern the truth.
