DOUGLAS, Ariz. - U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers say they have arrested a man who allegedly was trying to smuggle nearly $17,000 in cash across the Arizona border.

Officers at the Douglas port of entry were screening traffic going into Mexico on Wednesday and stopped a vehicle driven by a Mexican man from Hermosillo, Sonora. They found the undeclared currency concealed in a briefcase and the car's glove compartment.

Officers say they seized the cash and turned the man over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement for questioning. The man's name was not released.
