Border Patrol seizes over $74K of methamphetamine at checkpoint
Border Patrol agents working at the Highway 95 immigration checkpoint confiscated 11 packages of methamphetamine in a failed smuggling attempt Wednesday.
Agents referred a gray Ford Taurus to secondary inspection after a Border Patrol canine alerted to the vehicle at around 1:25 p.m.
A search led to the discovery of 24.9 pounds of methamphetamine in a post-factory compartment between the back seat and trunk of the vehicle. The narcotics have a street value of $74,700.
A 46-year-old woman, a United States citizen from Las Vegas, Nev. was arrested in the incident.
