CBP Officers seize $592K of Cocaine at San Luis Port of Entry
A Mexican national allegedly attempted to smuggle almost 44 pounds of cocaine through the Port of San Luis Thursday, according to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
CBP said Thursday afternoon, officers referred a 32-year-old San Luis, Sonora, Mexico, man for additional inspection of his Dodge van as he attempted to enter the U.S. through the port.
According to officers, a canine alerted to a scent from the dashboard where officers removed 18 packages of cocaine from the location. The cocaine weighed nearly 44 pounds, with an estimated value of $592,000.
Officers seized the drugs and vehicle, while the subject was arrested and then turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations.
