chrisinth Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Wow. That is a big haul, kudos to all involved in stopping this. Makes me wonder however how many of these labs are still up and running in this type of border area. Tip of the iceberg for sure.................

Cereal Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 That's a huge drug bust. I wonder if they'll get the upper echelon folks who are running it. My guess is those 4 arrested are pretty small potatoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
