Authorities confiscated nearly 50 pounds of methamphetamine hidden in an ice chest of fish earlier this week at the Southern border in California, federal officials said. The incident occurred Sunday before 9 p.m. at the Calexico West Port of Entry and involved a 34-year-old man who drove his sedan through the
lane, according to a Wednesday statement from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, also known as CBP. stands for the Secure Electronic Network for Travelers Rapid Inspection, a CBP program “that allows expedited clearance for pre-approved, low-risk travelers upon arrival in the United States.' After the sedan went through the
lane, CBP officers decided the driver and vehicle needed further inspection. During an additional inspection, CBP officers used the port’s imaging system to screen the vehicle, which had “irregularities within an ice chest found in the vehicle’s trunk,” CBP said. A K-9 team responded and found drugs, CBP said. “CBP officers discovered and extracted a total of 25 packages from the ice chest. The contents of the packages were tested and identified as methamphetamine with a total weight of 47.
