U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at DFW Airport announced Thursday that 10 kilograms of ketamine that were disguised as children’s board games were seized by agents.

The two shipments were headed towards Miami, where upon examination multiple packs of “crystalized white substance” tested positively for ketamine.

Jayson Ahern, Dallas area port director said in a release per the Dallas Morning News, “Global criminal networks utilize a wide array of tactics to smuggle dangerous and deadly drugs into the United States, but our CBP officers are highly trained in detecting and stopping these schemes.

“Our drug interdiction efforts are vital to protecting American communities from the scourge of dangerous and deadly drugs.”

The shipments reportedly originated from London.
