CALEXICO - 126 pounds of drugs were seized at the Calexico Port of Entry Sunday after a woman drove through the port and applied for entry.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents said the car was then inspected using a device similar to an x-ray machine, and that's when they noticed something suspicious. A drug-sniffing dog alerted agents to the presence of narcotics and they found 175 packages of meth and fentanyl throughout the car with an estimated street value of nearly a half a million dollars.
The woman was arrested and turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
