Agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs and Enforcement have arrested a 68-year-old El Paso woman for allegedly smuggling almost 40 pounds of cocaine from Mexico into El Paso.

Agents said Concepcion Bertha Montoya was arrested at 4:15 p.m. Wednesday at the Bridge of the Americas after they found the cocaine in a hidden compartment of a 1993 Dodge Caravan she was driving. The cocaine was wrapped in 15 bundles and is worth more than $1.2 million.

A drug-sniffing dog named "Outlaw" alerted agents to the van during a sweep of vehicles waiting in line to cross into El Paso. Montoya remains in the El Paso County Jail today without bond.

EL PASO, Texas -- U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers seized 38.9 pounds of cocaine Wednesday.

Officers working at the Bridge of the Americas stopped a 1993 Dodge Caravan trying to come across from Mexico. According to authorities, officers and K-9 teams were conducting a sweep of vehicles waiting in line when the dog alerted to the vehicle. CBP officers launched an exam and located a non-factory compartment in the firewall area of the car, authorities said.

According to CBP officials, officers drilled into the compartment and removed a white substance that tested positive for cocaine. CBP officers removed 15 cocaine-filled bundles from the compartment, according to authorities.

“Smuggling organizations will use every imaginable method to get the narcotics through our international ports of entry,â€
