Officers with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) seized nearly $2 million in heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine during smuggling attempts in Arizona. Border Patrol agents working nearby also arrested a previously-deported illegal alien with a violent criminal history.
CBP officers observed a man driving a Hyundai SUV from Mexico through the Dennis DeConcini border crossing in Nogales, Arizona, on September 9. The SUV, driven by a 27-year-old Mexican national, was referred to a secondary inspection station for a routine check. A K-9 officer alerted to the presence of drugs in his SUV and officers found 160 pounds of cocaine in the rear cargo area of the vehicle, according to information obtained by Breitbart Texas from CBP officials.
Officials estimated the value of the 60 packages of cocaine to be nearly $1.8 million. The man was arrested and the drugs and vehicle were seized.
