Federal authorities have seized more than a ton of cartel-linked crystal methamphetamine hidden between boxes of celery in a cargo truck at the Atlanta State Farmers Market in Forest Park, Georgia.
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) Atlanta division said on Aug. 13 that special agents confiscated the “record-breaking” amount last week during an enforcement operation.
