U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers assigned to the Andrade Port of Entry in California established a new port record with the seizure of nearly $1 million worth of fentanyl and methamphetamine.
The officers found the drugs hidden in a vehicle’s fuel tank.
At the secondary station, officers conducted a non-intrusive inspection of the vehicle. A K-9 team also did a walk around the truck and alerted to an odor it is trained to detect, according to a statement from CBP officials. Officers seized 46 packages of fentanyl pills. The packages weighed approximately 54 pounds, officials stated. They have an estimated street value of nearly $747,000.
In total, the drugs had a combined value of nearly $1 million, setting a record for the Andrade Port of Entry.
