On August 25, a 29-year-old woman from Yuma tried to enter the U.S. through a pedestrian lane. A CBP canine alerted agents after detecting an odor from the woman.
CBP officers say they took the woman to a local medical facility, where medical staff removed a package inside her body cavity. The package contained nearly 58 grams of fentanyl pills.
The second incident involved a 55-year-old. CBP officers performed a secondary inspection on his Ford sedan. During the search, they say a canine found a cache of heroine, methamphetamine and fentanyl in the vehicle. The illegal drugs had a combined weight of more than 40 pounds. Officers seized the illegal drugs and his vehicle.
On Sunday, CBP officers arrested another woman from Yuma, who they say was trying to smuggle illegal drugs via a pedestrian lane. During a secondary inspection, officers found over half a pound of methamphetamine in her personal belongings.
