U.S. Customs and Border Protection oficers intercepted a narcotic smuggling attempt at the downtown Calexico port of entry Monday morning. A 19-year old Holtville woman was arrested after her 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo was escorted to secondary inspection after a detector dog alerted to the car during a pre-primary enforcement operation. Agents utilizing X-ray equipment found 20 wrapped packages of cocaine concealed in the rocker panels of the car. The narcotics weighed 51 pounds and is valued at over $400,000.
