The routine arrives with confidence.
Smugglers keep using food. Cabbage, blackberries, broccoli, squash, peppers, cucumbers, lettuce, jalapenos, turnips, limes.
Every time, the same plan. Hide drugs in produce. Every time, the same result. Cops find them.
It’s like a game of hide-and-seek with no secrets left.
Smuggling is just a bad habit that never goes away.
