Border patrol busts woman with $334K meth hidden in SUV

U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Office of Field Operations, officers arrested a San Luis, Arizona woman connected to an alleged attempt to smuggle more than 110 pounds of methamphetamine through the Port of San Luis over the weekend.

Officers referred a 24-year-old woman for additional inspection of her Ford SUV as she attempted to enter the U.S. Saturday evening. After a CBP narcotics detection canine alerted to a scent it was trained to detect coming from the vehicle’s doors and rocker panels, a search led to the discovery of more than 100 packages that weighed more than 111 pounds, and have an estimated value of more than $334,000.

Officers seized the drugs and the vehicle, while the subject was arrested and then turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations.
