Back in April, another 18-year-old woman was arrested at a US-Mexico border checkpoint after officers with the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) discovered she was transporting more than $50,000 worth of methamphetamine into the US.
The CBP on Monday announced that officers with the Office of Field Operations at the Hidalgo International Bridge arrested an 18-year-old female resident of Edinburg, Texas, after locating 24 packages of methamphetamine in her vehicle s tires.
The arrest, which occurred on May 9, took place after the US woman attempted to cross back into the country from Mexico. Using a non-intrusive imaging examination, agents inspecting her 2016 Ford Fusion located some 64.86 pounds (29.42 kilograms) of a substance believed to be methamphetamine.

Facial recognition cameras will now be used at the Hidalgo Port of Entry, becoming the third port of entry in the Rio Grande Valley to have the technology, according to a Tuesday news release from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Facial biometrics were installed at the Progreso/Donna Port of entry and the Brownsville Port of Entry in 2020.
When travelers arrive at the pedestrian lanes at any bridge in Hidalgo, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point, according to the news release.
