Dulles CBP Officers Unspool Nearly 70,000 Ambien Pills Wrapped in Yarn

Excerpt:  “What started as a routine Customs and Border Protection examination of a shipment of yarn from India ended in the seizure of nearly 70,000 Zolpidem Tartrate pills on January 16. Officers initially examined the shipment, consisting of 96 rolls of black yarn spooled around pink tubes, at an air cargo warehouse near Washington Dulles International Airport on December 17. The shipment was destined to an address in Buena Park, Calif. CBP officers unspooled the black yarn of one tube and discovered multiple 10-pill blister packs taped to the pink tube.”
