U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at the Pharr International Bridge seized nearly $2.8 million in cocaine hidden in a shipment labeled as bottled beverages. The interception occurred on July 15 when a tractor trailer from Reynosa, Mexico, was subjected to a secondary inspection. Using advanced nonintrusive inspection technology, officers detected irregularities in the trailer. A subsequent physical inspection revealed 79 packages of cocaine weighing a total of 208.33 pounds. The narcotics and the vehicle were confiscated, and Homeland Security Investigations has launched a criminal inquiry into the case.
