Customs officers arrested two women found with nearly 18 pounds of cocaine hidden beneath their clothes.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers found the drugs after referring a northbound Chevy Impala Sedan for secondary inspection, officials said. The driver, a 20-year-old woman from Mission, and the passenger, a 20-year-old Mexican woman from Reynosa, were both arrested after officers found several packages of cocaine hidden under their clothes and strapped to their thighs, officials said.

CBP seized the Chevy Impala sedan. Both females were transferred to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for further investigation.
