TUCSON, Ariz. – U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at Arizona’s Port of Lukeville arrested a 27-year-old Kingman man Saturday after finding 10 pounds of cocaine, worth in excess of $113,000, and more than 4 pounds of meth, worth approximately $13,000, concealed within the firewall of his Toyota sedan.
A day earlier, officers conducting outbound operations referred a Jeep SUV for further inspection. The driver, a 40-year-old woman from Nogales, Arizona, and her 30-year-old female passenger from Mexico, were taken into custody after officers discovered three packages containing $69,000 in unreported U.S. currency.
Officers seized the drugs, currency and vehicles, and turned all subjects over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations.
