U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at Arizona’s Port of San Luis arrested a U.S. citizen attempting to smuggle 41 pounds of methamphetamine during the weekend.
On Saturday morning, officers referred a 21-year-old man for a secondary inspection of his Nissan sedan. Using a CBP narcotics-detection canine, officers located more than 41 pounds of meth, valued in excess of $123,000, hidden in the vehicle’s rear seats.
Officers seized the drugs and vehicle, and turned the subject over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations.
