U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers seized $634,000 worth of cocaine at the Pharr International Bridge cargo facility. The drugs were hidden in a commercial tractor-trailer that had traveled from Reynosa, Mexico. On August 7, CBP officers used nonintrusive inspection equipment to identify anomalies in the vehicle, leading to a physical inspection that uncovered 18 packages of cocaine weighing a total of 47.48 pounds (21.54 kg). The narcotics and the vehicle were confiscated, and Homeland Security Investigations has launched a criminal investigation into the incident.
