WASHINGTON: U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers seized more than 53 pounds of methamphetamine at the Pacific Highway Port of Entry on Saturday. The Field Operations officers said a man in a Hyundai Sante Fe was attempting to enter the U.S. around 11:30 a.m. The 40-year-old driver and 33-year-old passenger said they were coming to the U.S. for pleasure.
But officers said, based on experience and training, they decided to further inspect the vehicle and discovered seven packages of meth in a hidden compartment. Officers seized the drugs and vehicle and Homeland Security special agents arrested the driver. The Blaine Border Enforcement Security Task Force is now investigating the case.
