LOS ANGELES, CA U.S. Customs and Border Protection said Thursday that agents
found the highly decorated drug pipes in 860 boxes shipped from
China. The cargo, estimated to be worth more than $2.6 million, had
been described as glass figures and Christmas ornaments.
The bongs were seized Tuesday at the Los Angeles/Long Beach port
complex.
Customs spokeswoman Cristina Gamez says the importer remains
under investigation and there have been no arrests. She says it is
illegal to import or export drug paraphernalia in the United
States.
