🚨No hiding place is safe. This Justice Department is cracking down on drug trafficking and removing dangerous narcotics from our communities. Thanks to @DEAHQ, @DEAHoustonDiv, and local law enforcement, 4,000+ vape pens, 75 lbs. of THC wax, 42 lbs. of marijuana, 3 lbs. of mushrooms, and cocaine were seized.

A shipment manifested as a "mini fridge" was full of something other than groceries. After a K9 alert, officers opened the box to discover 12 more boxes. The boxes contained Ethylpentedrone Hydrochloride, a Schedule I stimulant equivalent to cocaine and methamphetamine, and ketamine. The shipment weighed 46lbs with an estimated street value of over $150K. More: go.dhs.gov/i9h

DEA emergency schedules bromazolam–a synthetic drug used to make counterfeit Xanax tablets. This designer benzo is being trafficked in the U.S. This scheduling recognizes there is no current accepted medical use & a high potential for abuse. #DEADIVERSION dea.gov/press-releases…
