The drugs were concealed in plastic painted in two shades of green to look like watermelon and packed among real watermelons.
According to bbc.com:
Stashing drugs among produce is a common way to smuggle the illicit substances across borders – banana shipments are the most popular but officers have recently found narcotics in Gouda cheese and avocados.
Officers seized more than two tonnes of methamphetamines – in a total of 1,220 packages.
