Border Patrol intercepts 67 pounds of meth
El Centro Sector Border Patrol agents arrested a woman on grounds she attempted to smuggle methamphetamine through an immigration checkpoint Saturday morning, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection release said.
The incident occurred about 6:45 a.m., when a gray 2009 Dodge Journey approached the Highway 86 immigration checkpoint. After a K-9 detection team alerted to the vehicle in the primary inspection lane, agents directed the vehicle to enter the secondary inspection area for further investigation.
During their inspection, agents discovered 42 packages hidden inside the rocker panels of the vehicle. The contents inside of the packages reportedly tested positive for the characteristics of methamphetamine. Agents arrested the driver, a 24-year-old U.S. citizen, and held her for further processing.
