Customs officers busted a woman last week who allegedly tried to smuggle a burrito filled with methamphetamine across the U.S.-Mexico border at Nogales, Arizona.


Susy Janelly Laborin, 25, was arrested shortly after noon on May 20 after U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers became suspicious of her lunch bag, officials said. 

Laborin, who is a U.S. citizen from Arizona, was preparing to cross into the United States on foot at the Nogales-Morley pedestrian gate when an officer's intuition led him to question the woman. 

After Laborin appeared nervous the officer decided to search a plastic bag she was carrying, which led to the discovery of a meth-filled dummy burrito hidden among several genuine ones. 

She told officials she was promised $500 to carry the drugs and to deliver them to a third party. The street value of the dope was around $3,000, officials estimated.
