That sure is a latte of meth!

A TRUCKER hauling Starbucks products in California was busted for possessing something a lot more stimulatin­g than coffee.

Cops found 130 pounds of methamphet­amine and other drugs in the cab of a semi bound from California to Spokane, Wash., said TV reports.

The truck’s driver and passenger acted suspicious­ly during a traffic stop Thursday, said Centralia cops.

A drug-sniffing dog found 40 bundles of meth in on the top bunk of the truck’s sleeping area, and another 50 bundles stashed on the lower bunk, said news reports.

Authoritie­s also found several grams of cocaine, a little more than 2 pounds of what they believe is heroin and thousands of Oxycodone pills. None of the drugs were in the semi’s refrigerat­ed trailer with the Starbucks products.

The driver, a 22-year-old Mexican, and the passenger, a 62-year-old California­n, face drug charges.
