“We do this every day. These ‘criminal masterminds’ never stood a chance,” CBP gloated in a post on Facebook.

Photos showed CBP officers pulling apart rectangular, aluminum-lined solar panels in which the massive trove of highly addictive drugs was secreted in tidy bricks.

The high-energy shipment was destined for New Zealand, officials said, citing “prior intel.”

Officials did not announce any arrests associated with the bust.
