LAREDO, Texas, June 23 (Del Rio Online) — U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers seized more than 1,100 pounds of suspected methamphetamine at the World Trade Bridge in Laredo after a commercial truck was sent for additional screening, the agency said.
A CBP officer referred the 2013 D-13 Volvo on Monday, June 15, after it arrived hauling a shipment manifested as “polypropylene.” Officers then used a canine inspection and a nonintrusive inspection system examination, which led them to the drugs, CBP said.
The agency said the seizure totaled 1,100.79 pounds of suspected methamphetamine with an estimated street value of $10,122,012. CBP seized the drugs, and Homeland Security Investigations special agents are investigating.
