EAGLE PASS, Texas—U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Office of Field Operations officers at Eagle Pass Port of Entry this weekend seized more than $238,000 in narcotics in a single enforcement action.
“This significant seizure was possible because of the continued vigilance and alertness our CBP officers put forth on a daily basis,” said Port Director Pete Beattie, Eagle Pass Port of Entry.
The seizure occurred on Aug. 31, at the Camino Real International Bridge when a CBP officer referred a 2025 Nissan Frontier driven by a 46-year-old male Mexican citizen for secondary inspection. CBP officers conducted a secondary examination that included utilization of CBP canine and a nonintrusive inspection. Upon further physical examination, CBP officers discovered packages containing a total of 22.7 pounds of alleged methamphetamine and 2.3 pounds of alleged cocaine within the liner of a cooler.
The narcotics have an estimated street value of $238,915.
