CAMERON COUNTY, TX – In a routine vehicle inspection that escalated quickly, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers stopped a significant methamphetamine haul in Brownsville, Texas, preventing it from reaching U.S. streets.

The bust took place at the Veterans International Bridge at the Brownsville Port of Entry on Friday, October 18. Officers flagged a 2006 Ford for secondary inspection, which led to the discovery of over 355 pounds of methamphetamine hidden inside the vehicle.

High-Tech Tools and Trained Canines Uncover the Stash

CBP officers used a combination of a non-intrusive scanner and a trained CBP canine unit to uncover the hidden drugs. Inside, they found multiple bulk packages containing a total of 355.36 pounds of meth. According to the agency, the street value of the narcotics is estimated at $3,267,643.

“Our CBP officers use different enforcement tools as they conduct their inspections to keep our borders secure and their efforts yielded this significant narcotics seizure,” said Tater Ortiz, the Port Director at the Brownsville Port of Entry.
