Life imitates art! Canadian cops bust drug dealers with 40lbs of BLUE meth - just like Walter White's famous formula on Breaking Bad

Drug smugglers in Oklahoma may not be able to produce 99.1 percent 'Blue Sky' methamphetamines like 'Breaking Bad's' chemist genius Walter White - but that doesn't mean they can't add dye to color it that way.



Canadian County sheriff's deputies managed to intercept 40 pounds worth of meth, colored blue, worth $2.3 million in a SUV that was being hauled by a truck on Friday.



It is one of the largest meth bust's in the nation's history and reveals the length's even drug dealers are going to in order to cash in on 'Breaking Bad's' huge cultural impact.

Not baby blue: The colored methamphetamines were found inside a secret compartment in a 2004 Ford Explorer after an enterprising deputy in Canadian County, Oklahoma discovered them

Deputies fortuitously discovered the illegal haul after they began talking to the driver of the trailer on the Morgan road truck stop near to I-40.

They became suspicious when he said that he had traveled from Los Angeles and was headed to Missouri, despite the vehicle being registered in Colorado.

Telling the driver they were going to search the cars and his truck, the deputies came across a false compartment area in a 2004 Ford Explorer.



Inside were bundles of blue-colored methamphetamines each weighing 1.3 kilos each with a street value of $2.3 million.



Police officials said they the driver did not know what he was hauling, but he agreed to work with deputies and led them to a house in Missouri where they found more meth, guns and a substantial amount of cash.

'It appears this was a long running operation involving the use of unsuspecting Semi drivers to transport the vehicles containing the narcotics cross country,' said Randall R. Edwards, Canadian County Sheriff. '

'The group was using sophisticated concealment methods to ensure the safe transit of the narcotics and seems to have utilized the small town of Monett due its rural location with a large immigrant population.'
