(45 year old Woman arrested)…It happened late last week.
Customs and Border Protection officer at the Calexico Port of Entry sent the woman and her vehicle to the secondary inspection area. A Narcotics Detection k-9 alerted to the vehicle. Using the Port’s x-ray imaging system, officers discovered anomalies in the gas tank of the Toyota Camry. A more detailed inspection of the gas tank resulted in the discovery of 11 packages containing just over 12 pounds of methamphetamine. The woman was arrested and turned over to Homeland Security Investigations agents, who processed the suspect. She was booked into Imperial County Jail.
