U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents in Pine Valley, California, announced Friday the seizure of 112 pounds of blue fentanyl pills worth around $1,536,000.
The Pine Valley border station is near the U.S.-Mexico border near San Diego. On May 18, agents stopped a 2003 SUV of unspecified make and model. When a drug dog was alerted to something in the vehicle, the car and its driver, a U.S. citizen, were taken to another checkpoint.
At the checkpoint, the agents found the narcotics hidden inside the roof of the car in nine plastic-wrapped packages. The blue pills within were found to be fentanyl.
