Officers from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) seized $512,000 worth of cocaine, heroin, and fentanyl in four separate instances at Arizona’s Port of Nogales over the holiday weekend.
On Nov. 9, a Mexican woman was pulled from a tourist bus at the Mariposa Crossing, after which a narcotics detection dog discovered on her person a package of heroin worth almost $17,000. That afternoon, a U.S. man was questioned at the Morley Pedestrian Crossing and found to be carrying two additional packages of heroin wrapped around his thighs, valued at more than $76,000.
On Nov. 10, a 16-year-old from the Nogales, Arizona area returning from Mexico was found to have fentanyl about his waist and in his shoes, worth almost $20,000. At the same crossing, a Mexican man’s sedan was inspected and a drug dog alerted officers to nearly 17 pounds of cocaine in the vehicle’s dashboard. The street value of those drugs would have been worth more than $399,000.
All suspects were turned over to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations following arrest.
