About 100 pounds of methamphetamine and $20,000 was found near the Canadian border on Sunday.

Border patrol agents found the drugs and cash in three backpacks and a duffel bag in a field at the border just west of the Danville, Wash., port of entry on State Route 21.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency valued the meth found at more than $750,000.

    Well done! And our northern border is very easy for smuggling, at least compared to the southern one.It would be nice if Washington D.C. would acknowledge that and beef up security here.

    I just hollow out a log and put a gps in it with the dope. Dump it in the river and collect it a mile or so downstream.

    So where/what happened to the four perps?

    A shorter headline might read “Dope Dumped, Cash Cached”.

    Bad news for whoever left that stuff out there like that. They might end up like Gus the DCT driver a few years back. Dope/cash exchanges of that magnitude at the border (which occur much more often than you’d like to believe) generally include some sort of eye-to-eye contact. Also, the idea that huge amounts of dope are set out unaccompanied on rafts or logs and floated downstream is false - same reason.
