EL PASO, Texas – U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers working at the Bridge of the Americas border crossing in El Paso stopped a drug smuggling attempt, preventing 34 pounds of cocaine from entering the United States July 8.
Shortly after 2:30 p.m. CBP officers encountered a 26-year-old male U.S. citizen arriving from Mexico via vehicle lanes. The driver was referred for a secondary inspection of the vehicle where a CBP canine and non-intrusive inspection resulted in the discovery of multiple bundles of cocaine with a combined weight of 34.61 pounds. The search also uncovered one handgun.
The subjects arrested by CBP officers were turned over to Homeland Security for prosecution.
