U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at Arizona’s Port of Naco seized 94 pounds of marijuana worth an estimated $47,000 on Thursday.
Officers working at the Naco crossing referred a 63-year-old male Mexican national for further inspection of his Kia Sorento. During the inspection, a CBP narcotics-detection canine’s alert led officers to find multiple packages of marijuana within the vehicle’s doors and spare tire.
The subject was arrested for narcotics smuggling and turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations. The officers seized the marijuana and vehicle.
