McALLEN, Texas (Border Report) — Border Patrol agents seized over $3 million worth of methamphetamine hidden inside the bumper of a vehicle during a traffic stop in South Texas outside of Laredo, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials said.
Agents found the bundles of meth on Wednesday when they assisted a Duval County Sheriff’s deputy during a vehicle stop in Freer, Texas, CBP said.
The drugs were spotted after a Border Patrol canine alerted agents to the drugs. The vehicle was taken to the Border Patrol checkpoint on Highway 59, a few miles away, where a non-intrusive scan of the vehicle “revealed anomalies in the rear bumper. Agents discovered numerous bundles inside the vehicle,” according to a CBP statement.
