Fentanyl, Meth Seized by Nogales CBP Officers

Officers removed and seized 67 pounds of meth and 8 pounds of fentanyl from the firewall of a smuggling vehicle.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at Arizona’s Port of Nogales arrested a 49-year-old woman Tuesday morning for attempting to smuggle almost $326,000 worth of fentanyl and methamphetamine into the United States.

Officers referred the woman for further inspection of her Chrysler sedan when she attempted to enter the U.S. through the Dennis DeConcini crossing. During the inspection, a CBP narcotics-detection canine’s alert led officers to find multiple packages of drugs throughout the vehicle. The drugs included more than 67 pounds of meth, worth almost $202,000, and close to 8 pounds of fentanyl, worth nearly $124,000.
