Upon a canine and non-intrusive inspection of the vehicle by CBP officers, a total of 12 packages containing a total of 50 pounds of alleged crystal methamphetamine were discovered. The crystal methamphetamine has an estimated street value of $1,007,943.<\/p>\n<p>The last seizure occurred on Wednesday, Sep. 20 at the Juarez-Lincoln International Bridge when a CBP officer conducting outbound examinations referred a 2008 Buick Enclave for an intensive inspection.

A canine and non-intrusive inspection by CBP officers resulted in the discovery of 19 packages containing $90,367 in unreported U.S. currency.<\/p>\n<p>CBP officers seized the vehicles, narcotics and currency.
