Texas, USA – Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers have intercepted cocaine valued at over $1 million at a Texas port of entry. The seizure, which involved 30 packages weighing approximately 76 to 77 pounds, occurred when officers referred a vehicle for secondary inspection.
The contraband, alleged to be cocaine, was discovered hidden within a commercial tractor-trailer after a canine unit alerted and non-intrusive imaging revealed anomalies.
The exact location of the interception is noted to be a port of entry in Texas, with specific mentions of the Pharr International Bridge and the Hidalgo Port of Entry. One report specifies the vehicle as a 2020 Renault Oroch, though another mentions a tanker truck. The street value of the seized narcotics is estimated to be around $1 million to $1.4 million.
Homeland Security Investigations has initiated a criminal investigation into the matter. The narcotics and the vehicle were both confiscated.
