NOGALES: A teen was arrested Thursday for trying to smuggle drugs inside a video game console.
A release from U.S. Customs and Border Protection says officers referred a 16-year-old for further questioning when he tried to enter through the Morley pedestrian crossing, which separates the U.S. and Mexico sides of Nogales.
A narcotics-detection canine alerted officers to the possible presence of drugs inside an Xbox gaming system. Authorities said they found more than three pounds of methamphetamine inside, valued at nearly $10,000.
The drugs were seized and the teen was turned over to immigration and customs enforcement officials. Copyright 2016 Scripps Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
