U.S. customs officers seized more than five and a half pounds of liquid methamphetamine from a passenger at Dulles International Airport Saturday.
Officers discovered two plastic bottles and a plastic bag containing brown liquids which tested positive for methamphetamine during a routine luggage inspection, customs authorities said.
Customs officers found the drugs in courier bags belonging to an El Salvadoran woman who is a U.S. permanent resident. Officials determined the woman was a "legitimate courier," and she was not charged, according to a statement from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Officers said the methamphetamine had a potential street value of $33,000.
