$800K of meth in mango shipment
April 27, 2018
U.S. Customs & Border Protection officers at Arizona’s port of Nogales arrested a Mexican national involved in connection with a failed attempt to smuggle almost 270 pounds of methamphetamine into the United States Wednesday. Officers seized 270 pounds of meth from within a tractor trailer loaded with mangos.
Officers working at the Mariposa Cargo Facility referred a 33-year-old man for further inspection of the tractor-trailer. A CBP narcotics detection canine alerted to a scent that it was trained to detect, resulting in drugs being located on the trailer rear floor. The inspection led to the discovery of more than 250 packages of meth, worth $809,000.
Officers seized the drugs as well as the tractor-trailer, and after being arrested turned the subject over to U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations.
