A United States citizen was arrested by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at Arizona’s Port of San Luis for attempting to smuggle methamphetamine into the United States Thursday.
A 24-year-old woman was referred by CBP officers at the pedestrian crossing for further inspection Thursday night. A CBP narcotics detection canine alerted to the women and a subsequent search led to the discovery of two packages determined to be meth, concealed in her groin. The drugs weighed nearly one third of a pound, with an estimated street value of nearly $1,100.
Officers seized the drugs, and the subject was turned over to the Yuma County Narcotics Task Force following her arrest.
