Six "dreamcatchers" filled with liquid methamphetamine were seized by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection on Sunday. The items were seized at a port of entry in Columbus, New Mexico, the agency said. A woman was allegedly trying to bring them into the U.S. from Mexico. “This is one of the most unusual smuggling episodes we have ever encountered,” port director Robert Reza said in a press release. “Smugglers will try to conceal their drug loads in everyday items like soft drink cans, framed artwork and other seemingly innocent items." According to the agency, the dreamcatchers were filled with 1.6 pounds of liquid meth. Read More on the Story:
