230 Pounds of Bologna Seized at Border in Pair of Bizarre Smuggling Busts

A pair of bizarre smuggling busts at the US-Mexico border yielded a whopping 230 pounds of bologna that travelers had attempted to sneak into the country. Detailed in an announcement by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the initial incident occurred on February 25th at the Bridge of Americas port of entry in El Paso when officers stopped an American couple who were returning home in two separate cars. Upon inspecting the first vehicle, cops uncovered several "rolls of prohibited pork bologna" that the man said he was being paid to import into the United States. The case became even more complex when it was determined that the duo constituted something of a clandestine cold cut convoy as even more of the deli meat was discovered in the second car.
