DRUG SMUGGLING GOES FARM-TO-METH Authorities uncovered 1,600 pounds of methamphetamine hidden inside blackberry shipments at a Georgia distribution facility, marking one of the largest produce-based drug seizures in the region. Investigators say the drugs were tightly packaged and concealed among pallets of fresh blackberries, part of an increasingly common smuggling tactic using legitimate food shipments to move narcotics unnoticed. Officials noted this follows recent busts involving cucumbers, celery, and jalapeño peppers, signaling an organized pattern rather than isolated incidents. The meth was seized before reaching the public supply chain. The investigation remains ongoing, and authorities have not yet released information on arrests or the shipment’s origin. #BreakingNews #DrugBust #Meth #Georgia #Smuggling
