"CBP officers did an exceptional job in interdicting these illicit narcotics at our port of entry," Port Director Pete Beattie said. "These seizures will help keep dangerous drugs out of our communities, in turn denying criminal organizations the revenue derived from their sale."

The drugs were seized on March 25 at the Camino Real International Bridge after a CBP officer directed a Mexican citizen driving through the port for a secondary inspection.
