It’s a new smuggling meth-od.

More than $400,000 worth of liquid meth was found in condoms placed inside pumpkins at the U.S.-Mexico border on Tuesday, federal authorities said.

The meth-o-lanterns were found at Eagle Pass International Bridge, about 130 miles west of San Antonio, according to a press release from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

The driver and passenger of a 2012 Ford Escape carrying the pumpkins were detained, the feds said.

Investigators found 136 condoms inside four pumpkins, CBP said. The condoms contained approximately 44 pounds of liquid meth, with an estimated street value of $402,196.

“Our frontline CBP officers have seen just about everything and this Tuesday was no exception as they encountered liquid methamphetamine hidden within pumpkins,” said Elizabeth Garduno, CBP director at the Eagle Pass bridge.
