Drug Cartels Are Using Ford Fusions To Smuggle Curiously Cheap Weed Into Minnesota

A string of drug busts in Minnesota involving marijuana being smuggled across the border in brand new Ford Fusions has triggered an ongoing investigation. It is believed that the cartel of former drug lord “El Chapo” is involved.

Between February and March of this year, about 1,100 pounds of marijuana was discovered hidden in the trunks of at least 22 new Ford Fusions that were made in Mexico. The weed was worth about $1.4 million, wrote Alpha News in an excellent and detailed report from (which you should definitely check out).

The St. Paul Police Department said in a police report that on Feb. 10, 2017, it was contacted by the local railway police with a narcotics complaint. They had received a railcar that held 15 cars from Mexico. Thirteen of the 15 had already been sent out to dealerships a few days before.

The remaining two 2017 Ford Fusions were to go out that day. When the truck driver went to do his pre-shipment inspection, he found big bundles of what seemed to be drugs in the spare tire compartment in both cars.

She just wished she had taken a better picture. “It’s the worst mugshot because, first of all, I was not ready,” Allye, now 17, told Times reporters in an interview at her home last fall. “My hair was frizzy and grown out. It was terrible.”
