Some people may have joked about the Xbox’s size and compared the Microsoft gaming system to a VCR, but one drug smuggler might have just taken advantage of the size of the system. A report on Business Insider revealed that US border agents discovered an Xbox filled with 3 pounds of meth.

According to an official release to the US Customs and Border Protection Newsroom, a 16-year-old male from Nogales, Sonora, Mexico attempted to enter the US through the Morley Pedestrian crossing with the console. The console, nonetheless, was packed with more than 3 pounds of methamphetamine which is worth almost $10,000. Border protection officers then quickly found the drugs after a canine alerted to the gaming system. The male was ultimately detained and turned over to Homeland Security Investigators.

What do you make of this situation? If you could safely open up your Xbox and hide something what would you put inside? (Please keep it legal!) Let us know your thoughts by dropping us a comment below.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.
