CBP officers seize $370K in meth hidden inside vehicles
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers seized $370,000 worth in methamphetamine this week.
Officers referred a 19-year-old San Luis, Ariz. man early Tuesday morning for additional questioning as he attempted to enter the United States in his Ford truck.
After an alert by a CBP canine, officers found multiple packages of meth within the vehicle’s fuel tank of nearly 53 pounds, worth $158,000.
On Monday, a 41-year-old Mexican man was referred for further inspection of his Honda truck. A CBP canine led to the discovery of nearly 71 pounds of meth, worth almost $212,000 within the rear quarter panels.
CBP officers seized the drugs and vehicles. Both men were both arrested and turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations.
