17 pounds of cocaine

Posted by with No comments | in
The bus was being driven by a 39-year-old Mexican citizen from Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, Mexico. Once all passengers in the bus had exited, CBP canine “Martin” alerted to the odor of narcotics emanating from the back seats area of the bus. Upon further examination and a closer visual inspection of the seats, CBP officers discovered seven cellophane wrapped bundles underneath two of the back seats. The seven packages contained 17 pounds of cocaine valued at $544,000. Although no immediate arrest was made in this case, U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Special Agents are continuing the investigation into this seizure and federal drug violations charges are pending. CBP officers also seized the bus.
