CopyUS Customs & Border Protection officers at the Lukeville Port of Entry arrested two women in separate narcotic smuggling cases last week.
CBP officers processing travelers applying for entry to the US on May 17 encountered a woman driving a truck. Noting discrepancies in the truck during pri-mary interview, escorted the woman into the office. Her vehicle was inspected and found to have 428 pounds of marijuana in the truck bed. The woman was arrested and turned over to Immigration & Customs Enforcement.
A second smuggling case occurred on May 18 when a woman was found to have 121 pounds of marijuana in her SUV. Officers noticed odd behavior and during a search, found marijuana in the quarter panels and doors of the vehicle. The woman, marijuana, and vehicle were turned over to the Pima County Sheriff's Department.
"The officers demonstrate their dedication to the CBP mission through their enforcement efforts," said Acting Port Director Efrian Solis Jr. "They do great work!"
