San Luis CBP officers arrest cocaine smuggler
U.S. Customers and Border Protection officers arrested a U.S. citizen who attempted to smuggle more than nine pounds of cocaine last Friday afternoon at the San Luis Port of Entry.
CBP officers referred a 25-year-old U.S. citizen woman for further inspection of her Honda Civic while attempting to cross to the United States.
A CBP narcotics detection canine alerted officers beneath the hood where they discovered packages of cocaine. The drugs weighed more than nine pounds and had an estimated value of almost $105,000.
Officers arrested the suspect for narcotics smuggling and turned her over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations. CBP officers also seized the drugs and vehicle.
