(117 pounds of liquid meth)…It was seized this week.

A Customs and Border Protection Officer at the Downtown Calexico Port of Entry encountered a 39-year-old woman after she entered the Port driving a 1999 Volvo S70. During the inspection, the officer encountered inconsistencies with the traveler’s itinerary and referred her to the secondary inspection area. CBP officers used the port’s imaging system and a narcotics detector dog to conduct the inspection of the vehicle. The imaging system encountered anomalies in the vehicle. Officers extracted 117 pounds of liquid meth concealed in the fuel tank. The estimated street value of the narcotics was set at $292,500. The driver, a resident of Pasadena, was placed under arrest. The woman was turned over to Homeland Security investigations agents for further processing. She was later booked into Imperial County Jail. The CBP seized the vehicle and the liquid meth.
