Drugs found in truck bed by Border Patrol agents
CAMPO, Calif. - A 31-year-old man was apprehended on Wednesday afternoon for allegedly attempting to smuggle heroin and methamphetamine.According to Border Patrol agents, a tan Ford Ranger approached the checkpoint on westbound Interstate 8 when agents questioned the driver's citizenship. The driver was sent to secondary inspection for further questioning. Agents say a canine alerted to a scent beneath the truck bed where agents searched and discovered the bed of the pick-up had a false floor and packages concealed in a non-factory compartment.
After opening the compartment, agents say they located 88 suspicious bundles that contained 88 pounds of meth, worth $185,000 and 6 pounds of heroin, worth $69,000.
The driver, a Mexican citizen with a B1/B2 tourist visa was apprehended on the scene. Agents say the narcotics were turned over to the Drug Enforcement Administration and the vehicle was seized by the U.S. Border Patrol.
To prevent the illicit smuggling of humans, drugs, and other contraband, the U.S. Border Patrol maintains a high level of vigilance on corridors of egress away from our Nation’s borders. To report suspicious activity to the U.S. Border Patrol, contact San Diego Sector at (619) 498-9900.
