CALEXICO, Calif. – U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers, this past Sunday, stopped an alleged smuggling attempt of 430 pounds of methamphetamine at the Calexico West Port of Entry.

CBP officers referred the vehicle and its driver, a U.S. citizen, to secondary inspection where an X-ray imaging system operator observed anomalies in the vehicle. During further inspection, CBP officers removed 23 packages weighing approximately 430 pounds from the vehicle’s floor and spare tire.
The narcotics have an estimated street value of $1.2 million.
CBP officers seized the narcotics and the vehicle.
