U.S. Customs and Border Protection Office of Field Operations arrested two people and seized nearly 200 pounds of drugs after two separate, unrelated drug smuggling attempts at the Hidalgo International Bridge last week, according to a news release from the agency.
On April 30, a CBP officer stopped a vehicle driven by a 72-year-old man from San Benito arriving from Mexico. During a secondary inspection, officers found 24 packages of alleged methamphetamine weighing 109 pounds hidden inside the vehicle’s tires.
