Border officers found $378,000 of methamphetamine hidden in the doors of an SUV being driven into Arizona on June 3, officials say.
A drug dog alerted to the Ford at the Nogales border crossing and officers found 16 packages — about 24 pounds in total — of methamphetamine hidden in each of the vehicle’s four doors, a news release from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says.
The men — 26 and 29 years old — are U.S. citizens. They were referred to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations, the release said.
The drugs and vehicle were processed for seizure.
