Checkpoints seized $272,940 dollars worth of methamphetamine in two separate smuggling
events over the weekend.
At approximately 8:45 a.m. on Friday, Wellton Station agents sent a white 2009 Chevrolet
Equinox to the secondary inspection area after a Border Patrol canine positively alerted
to the vehicle.
A thorough search of the vehicle yielded 40.78 pounds of methamphetamine hidden in the roof.

The female driver, a 24-year-old United States citizen who claimed to be living in Mexico,
was placed under arrest for possession and transport of illegal drugs.

to a gray 2000 Chevrolet Tahoe.
Blythe Station agents searched the vehicle and discovered 50.2 pounds of methamphetamine
in the spare tire.
The narcotics have an approximate worth of $150,600 dollars.
The driver, a 21-year-old male Mexican national with a valid Border Crossing card, was arrested
for possession and transport of illegal drugs.Officers referred a 23-year-old man for an additional
search of his Nissan sedan as he attempted to enter the U.S. from Mexico on Thursday
afternoon.
A CBP canine alerted to an odor it was trained to detect, leading officers to discover more
than 70 pounds of methamphetamine, worth almost $211,000 dollars within the vehicle's quarter
panels.
The vehicle and drugs were seized.
The subject was arrested and turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's
Homeland Security Investigations.Also, here's some news from the Northern Border:
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at the Rainbow Bridge encountered two Canadian
citizens smuggling illegal narcotics over the border on April 28.
CBP officers encountered a pair of travelers at the Rainbow Bridge after they claimed to
make a wrong turn on the bridge.
CBP officers referred the two men, Canadian nationals, for secondary inspection due to
their suspicious behavior.
A CBP canine team arrived to search the vehicle, and the dog quickly alerted to the car's
dash area.CBP officers disassembled the dashboard, finding a sack containing three bags with
a rocky white substance, another bag with a white powder, and a bag with a leafy green
substance.
Officers also found a digital scale hidden behind the dash, containing residue of a powdered
white substance.
Subsequent testing revealed the rocky substance as cocaine, the white powder as a compound
used to cut cocaine for distribution, and the green substance as marijuana.
"CBP officers are trained to spot traveler characteristics or behaviors that indicate
the need for a second, closer look," said Port Director Cary Frieling.
"In this case, the closer look revealed hidden narcotics.
Preventing the flow of illegal drugs into the U.S. continues to be one of our top priorities."
The subjects were turned over to the Niagara Falls Police Department for further processing.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection is the unified border agency within the Department
of Homeland Security charged with the management, control and protection of our nation's borders
at and between the official ports of entry.
CBP is charged with keeping terrorists and terrorist weapons out of the country while
enforcing hundreds of U.S. laws.
