· Texas Border Business
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers at the Pharr International Bridge seized $634,000 worth of cocaine hidden in a commercial tractor-trailer. On August 7, a truck traveling from Reynosa, Mexico, was referred for a secondary inspection due to anomalies detected by nonintrusive equipment. A physical inspection revealed 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. Port Director Carlos Rodriguez praised the officers for their effective skills in intercepting narcotics.
