CBP Officers at Del Rio Port of Entry seize $247K in methamphetamine

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Office of Field Operations (OFO) officers at the Del Rio Port of Entry recently seized methamphetamine valued at approximately $247,000.

“This seizure is a great example of teamwork exhibited by our CBP officers,” Mucia C. Dovalina, port director for the Del Rio Port of Entry, said. “Our frontline officers’ vigilance and unwavering commitment to CBP’s border security mission is reflected by this significant hard narcotics seizure.”

On Sunday, Feb. 25, the officers referred for a secondary inspection a 2013 Chevrolet Cruze driven by a 22-year-old female Mexican citizen from Ciudad Acuña, Mexico. During the secondary inspection, CBP officers, with the help of a canine team, located the alleged methamphetamine hidden within a compartment in the vehicle.

CBP OFO seized the narcotics. The case remains under investigation by Homeland Security Investigations special agents.
