“Our frontline CBP officers remain dedicated to our border security mission and seizures like this one underscore that commitment to the mission,” said Port Director Carlos Rodriguez, Hidalgo/Pharr/Anzalduas Port of Entry. “Our officers continue to utilize an effective combination of experience, technology and canines to zero-in on hard narcotics loads that try to blend in with regular traffic.” 

The seizure occurred on Saturday, May 27 at the Hidalgo International Bridge, when CBP officers encountered a commercial bus arriving from Mexico. The bus was referred for a canine and non-intrusive inspection system examination, resulting in the discovery of 50 packages containing a total of 132.40 pounds of alleged cocaine within the bus. 

The narcotics had a street value of $1,767,926.

CBP seized the narcotics. Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) special agents are investigating the seizure.
