Customs and Border Protection officers at the Port of Nogales arrested a Mexican national Wednesday, Oct. 5, for attempting to smuggle nearly 14 pounds of heroin and almost 27 pounds of heroin, worth an estimated $318,500 combined.
Officers working at the Dennis DeConcini crossing used a CBP narcotics-detection canine to find the drugs during a secondary search of a Ford SUV driven by a 23-year-old man from Magdalena, Sonora, Mexico.
