### Blind Mule Incident: Discovering Crystal Meth Hidden in Furniture
In Tijuana’s Parajes del Valle neighborhood, municipal police recently uncovered approximately eleven kilograms of the synthetic drug known as “crystal meth.” This seizure took place in an uncommon scenario where the vehicle owner had no idea they were transporting narcotics, a situation often referred to as a “blind mule.”
The police were originally alerted to the area by reports of armed individuals. Upon arrival, they spoke with a complaining party who mentioned they were planning to cross into the United States. This individual had been contacted through Facebook to transport some furniture, which was later found to conceal several packages containing the illegal substance.
The officers examined six packages inside the furniture and confirmed the granular substance appeared to be crystal meth. They also guided the victim on how to handle potential “blind mule” cases, advising them to download and utilize the Emergency Button app for future reporting of such incidents.
