San Luis CBP seize $269K in meth
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers arrested a U.S. citizen in connection to a failed smuggling attempt on Thursday, resulting in the seizure of nearly 90 pounds of methamphetamine at Arizona’s Port of San Luis.
Officers referred a 36-year-old woman for additional questioning as she attempted to enter the U.S. from Mexico last night in her Mazda sedan.
An alert by a CBP canine led officers to discover multiple packages of meth within the vehicle’s doors and quarter panels of nearly 90 pounds, worth $269,000.
CBP officers seized the drugs, vehicle, and the subject was arrested and turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations.
