 A group of smugglers disguised $5 million worth of methamphetamine as watermelons and tried to truck them across the US border with Mexico. Visuals showed over 2,000 kilograms of the drug wrapped in paper packages painted to look like the juicy fruit and hidden among other cargo. Border agents pulled over the produce-laden tractor-trailer in California and discovered the 'watermelons' were actually bundles of the synthetic drug wrapped in colored paper. The driver of the truck was arrested.
