Border Patrol Agents Arrest Woman with Cocaine Near I-15 Checkpoint
(Tuesday, July 23, 2013)
San Diego — U.S. Border Patrol agents intercepted a cocaine smuggling attempt near the Murrieta checkpoint last Wednesday.
At approximately 6 p.m., agents encountered and stopped a suspicious 29-year-old female U.S. citizen driving a 2003 Jaguar X-Type near Interstate 15. A Border Patrol K-9 team performed a cursory inspection of the vehicle resulting in a positive alert. The woman admitted that she was getting paid to deliver a package with unknown contents. Agents searched the vehicle and discovered 15 bricks of cocaine hidden in a cardboard box inside the trunk. The bundles weighed 37.37 pounds and had an estimated street value of $411,070.
The suspected smuggler was turned over to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department for state prosecution. The vehicle was seized by the U.S. Border Patrol.
