HIDALGO, Texas—U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Office of Field Operations (OFO) at the Hidalgo International Bridge detected $2,363,000 worth of heroin and cocaine within two commercial buses arriving from Mexico this past week.

“Commendations are certainly in order for our frontline officers for having intercepted these hard narcotics,” said Port Director Carlos Rodriguez, Port of Hidalgo/Pharr/Anzalduas. “Their commitment is outstanding and never sways. That’s the attitude CBP officers must possess in the fight against drugs.”

On Nov. 2, a Mexican registered commercial bus arrived at the Hidalgo-Reynosa International Bridge from Mexico during the early morning hours. A secondary inspection, utilizing a non-intrusive imaging (NII) system allowed CBP officers to detect packages of suspected narcotics hidden within the bus.
