8 pounds of liquid meth seized at border [AZ]

8 pounds of liquid meth seized at border
September 22, 2007 - tucsoncitizen.com

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers found a little more than 8 pounds of liquid methamphetamine in a gas tank of a pickup truck at a Nogales port of entry Thursday, an Office of Field Operations spokesman said.

The drug was in an otherwise empty auxiliary fuel tank.

The drug has a street value of about $228,000, spokesman Brian Levin said. A police dog sniffed it out.

Levin said it was the second time officers discovered the liquid form at the border crossing. He said the first time was in December 2006.

It was unclear how the drug came to be in liquid form or how it was meant to be consumed, Levin said.

"It could be that this was part of the plan, to get it in and then dry it out, but it's not for sure," he said. The drug is normally bought in crystal form, he said.

The truck carrying the meth was stopped a little after noon Thursday, Levin said.

The driver, a 45-year-old man from Nogales, Son., was coming from Mexico, he said.

Levin said he would not release the man's name because he had yet to be formally charged.

If it was liquid meth then it was probably is base form, but this article seems weird. Why do they measure liquids in weight rather than volume?

That's a good question, why did they measure the liquid by weight?

Just a guess here but judging from the common manufacturing techniques in Mexico I'm willing to bet that this was actually meth HCl in solution.
