Texas Border Agents Seize 108 Pounds of Cocaine Hidden in Truck Cargo

No matter how many times criminals are caught attempting to bring huge loads of drugs into the United States through Texas, they never seem to stop trying.  

We are hearing from U.S. Customs and Border Protection that recently they stopped another tractor-trailer at an international bridge in Eagle Pass, Texas that was found to be carrying $1.4 million dollars' worth of cocaine.  

How Were the Drugs Hidden in the Truck? 

As you know there are so many vehicles that enter the United States on a daily basis. So, Border Patrol agents need to be actively searching at all times to find the illegal drugs.  

This most recent drug seizure happened after agents found the drugs in a fuel tank at the Camino Real International Bridge.

Drug Sniffing Dogs Helped Find the Drugs 

As the tractor-trailer was attempting to enter the U.S. it was sent to secondary inspection where drug-sniffing dogs and officers searched the vehicle thoroughly, leading to the hidden drugs. 

The Battle Against Drugs Happens Daily 

It’s the sad reality that is taking place every day, there are criminals that are manufacturing and distributing drugs and using Texas as a way to keep their operation going.  

We cannot say thank you enough to all the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents that are working tirelessly to keep these drugs out of the Lone Star State.  

The narcotics, tractor and tanker were all seized as they are part of the criminal investigation.
