    The agency had learned about a semitrailer coming across the Mexican border, and agents tracked the drugs to the farmers market, said DEA Special Agent in Charge Robert Murphy. The drugs were found inside the truck, he said.

    “This was contained in a cover load of celery,”

    So unfortunately not inside the celery itself, which would of course be significantly more fun :(
