Customs Officers in Baltimore Uncover Over 200 Pounds of Marijuana Disguised as Workwear

In a rather unorthodox twist on cargo shipping, Baltimore’s U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has intercepted an impressive haul of over 200 pounds of marijuana, cleverly concealed in a shipment of men’s overalls bound for Belgium. Talk about a fashion statement!

The illicit goods were packed into 155 vacuum-sealed packages, humorously labeled on the shipping manifest as “brace overalls for men / heavy duty workwear bib.” If only the smugglers had put as much thought into their disguise as they did into their product selection.

According to a press release from CBP, the sizable shipment weighed in at 91.3 kilograms, or 201 pounds and five ounces. In terms of street value, this green treasure is estimated at around $875,000 in the U.S. But wait, there’s more! If this shipment had made it to Europe, it could have sold for two to three times that amount, depending on its potency. Marijuana, it seems, is the new gold!

The press release elaborated:

CBP officers continue to notice a persistent trend where transnational criminal organizations are attempting to ship marijuana originating from the U.S. to Europe and Africa, where the demand for high-quality cannabis can yield astronomical profits.

While some states in the U.S. have decriminalized marijuana for medical and recreational use, the bulk smuggling of it remains illegal. Federal law explicitly prohibits the transportation of marijuana across state lines or exporting it from the United States.

The investigation into this particular shipment is being spearheaded by special agents from Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Border Enforcement Security Task Force, proving that not all heroes wear capes—some wear badges and work in customs.

“Smugglers, including transnational criminal organizations, are trying to capitalize on the oversaturated marijuana market by illegally exporting bulk shipments to lucrative global markets,” stated Jason Kropiewnicki, the Acting Area Port Director for the Area Port of Baltimore. “Customs and Border Protection officers are dedicated to enforcing our nation’s laws and thwarting these smuggling attempts to cut off criminals from their ill-gotten gains.”

In a broader context, 2024 statistics reveal that CBP officers and agents seized an average of 1,571 pounds of drugs daily. This persistent battle against drug smuggling underscores the ongoing complexities of drug policies in the U.S. and around the world.
