El Marqués, Querétaro — Airport authorities in the state of Querétaro have seized a shipment of crystal meth bound for Australia. The drug shipment was found hidden inside Mexican artesian skulls.
The finding was made inside the Querétaro Intercontinental Airport when members of the National Guard located two boxes of skulls with pre-Hispanic engravings. The skulls were found filled with synthetic crystal meth bound for Kallangur, Queensland, Australia.
The drug-filled skulls were located by a K9 narcotics dog during an August 1 parcel company inspection located inside the air terminal.
“The canine specimen became interested in two cardboard boxes due to the possible presence of an illicit object or substance, so both shipments were placed in an X-ray machine where the presence of organic material was confirmed,” National Guard reported.
|Upon careful inspection of the packages destined for Kallangur, Queensland, Australia, National Guard noticed inside 12 skulls with pre-Hispanic engravings weighing more than 28 kilograms. The skulls were filled with a crystalline substance with the characteristics of the synthetic drug crystal,” they explained.
The boxes with the drug-filled skulls were seized and made available to the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office in the state.
