EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers working at the Ysleta Port of Entry seized over 20 pounds of cocaine this week, according to CBP.
CBP says at around 9 a.m. on Wednesday, May 28, the seizure began when a 22-year-old man, a U.S. citizen, arrived in a truck from Mexico.
A CBP officer working at the primary inspection booth selected the truck for a secondary exam after a scan revealed anomalies in the appearance of the vehicle, according to CBP.
A CBP drug-sniffing dog also alerted to the presence of narcotics during a sweep of traffic as vehicles were approaching a primary inspection area, according to CBP.
An X-ray scan of the truck confirmed the presence of anomalies in the firewall and dashboard area, CBP said.
