A Chihuahua man was caught at the Bridge of the Americas leaving the United States with close to $400,000 in likely drug proceeds stashed in the side panels of his car last Sunday, Customs and Border Protection officials said Thursday.

Alan Eduardo Salas Delgado, 22, a Mexican citizen from Chihuahua City, was stopped during a southbound operation by CBP and Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers checking for weapons and money being taken out of the United States illegally. Individuals are permitted to carry any amount of money in or out of the United States but they must report any amount above $10,000.
