SAN DIEGO — CBP officers from the San Diego Field Office ended the month of April with major figures, successfully seizing more than 7,570 pounds of narcotics worth millions of dollars in 106 separate occasions. As traffickers evolve their methods, CBP officers remain one step ahead.

While carrying out security enforcement efforts, CBP officers seized 4,413 pounds of methamphetamine, 2,748 pounds of cocaine, 404 pounds of fentanyl, and 5 pounds of heroin, with an estimated street value of over $29 million. The narcotics intercepted were strategically concealed in various locations including non-factory compartments, the car battery, engine bay, spare tire, roof area, and several other hidden locations. CBP Officers’ teamwork, attention to detail, and partnerships with fellow agencies are what make these operations successful.
