LOS ANGELES: A San Diego woman traveling from Mexico was caught at Los Angeles International Airport trying to smuggle in more than 11 pounds of crystal methamphetamine tucked away in the lining of her suitcase.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers said they spotted the 27-year-old woman on July 18 and decided to do a secondary inspection, because she was acting in a nervous manner.
That’s when officials discovered a false compartment in her luggage that contained packages of crystallized meth wrapped in tape.
